ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 15 -- United States Patent no. 12,665,793, issued on June 23, was assigned to Micron Technology Inc. (Boise, Idaho).
"Equalization for pulse-amplitude modulation" was invented by Kang-Yong Kim (Boise, Idaho), Hyun Yoo Lee (Boise, Idaho), Timothy M. Hollis (Meridian, Idaho) and Dong Soon Lim (Boise, Idaho).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Described apparatuses and methods are directed to equalization with pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) signaling. As bus frequencies have increased, the time for correctly transitioning between voltage levels has decreased, which can lead to errors. Symbol decoding reliability can be improved with equalization, like with decision-feedback equ...
