  • Publication number: 20140181358
    Abstract: Techniques for decoding encoded data are described herein. An example of a device in accordance with the present techniques includes a signaling module with a receiver, quantizer, and arithmetic circuit. The receiver receives a plurality of encoded line voltages or currents on a plurality of signal lines. The quantizer determines signal levels of each of the plurality of signal lines at a unit interval. The arithmetic circuit provides a plurality of digital output bits of the decoder based on the signal levels. Each one of the digital output bits is a mathematical combination of all of the signal levels.

  • Publication number: 20140181348
    Abstract: Techniques for decoding encoded data are described herein. An example of a device in accordance with the present techniques includes a receiving signaling module coupled to a plurality of signal lines. The signaling module includes a receiver to receive a plurality of encoded line voltages or currents on the plurality of signal lines of a bus, wherein each one of the plurality of encoded line voltages corresponds to a weighted sum of data. The signaling module includes a comparator to determine the voltage level of each line at a unit interval and convert the voltage level to a digital value. The signaling module includes a lookup table correlating the digital value with a digital bit stream.

  • Publication number: 20080240266
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for improving communication between a transmitter and a receiver is disclosed. The method can include receiving a first signal having a first power level over a first path, receiving a second signal having a second power level over a second path wherein the first path is different than the second path. The method can compare the first power level with the second power and determine a difference between the first power level and the second power level. The method can also adjusting a parameter in the system to reduce the difference in power levels between the first and second signals compensating for interference cause by many sources.
