This Pulse-Amplitude Modulation 4-Level (PAM4) application note explains PAM4 theory and operation while introducing the Intel® Stratix® 10 TX device capability and the realization of 57.8 Gbps data
PAM4 is a multi-level modulation scheme that encodes data by varying the amplitude of the signal. PAM4 enhances high-speed data transmission by using four distinct amplitude levels,
PAM4 effectively doubles the data rate for a link bandwidth at the expense of reduced signal to noise ratio (SNR). PAM4 is used in 400GE, 800GE, and 1.6T Ethernet as well as PCIe 6.0® and other
Samtec next-generation interconnect solutions are designed with the flexibility and performance to meet the challenges of 224 Gbps PAM4 architectures.
In copper, PAM4 uses four voltage levels to represent two-bits of data per symbol. By encoding two or more bits per symbol, PAM increases the data rate without increasing the required channel bandwidth.
Since CTLEs are passive filters, they''re no different in PAM4 systems than in PAM2-NRZ systems, but with four symbol levels, the decisions that PAM4 DFEs feedback are more complicated.
In this article, I will explore PAM4 in-depth, from its benefits and potential tradeoffs to why it was an essential innovation that enabled today''s emerging technologies. You will also learn
With the PAM4 encoding technology, the amount of information transmitted on 50G PAM4-based optical modules within each sampling cycle doubles. A 25G optical component can be used to achieve a 50
Simulations have shown that with reasonable channel IL (i.e.,~30dB IL, and ≤3dB ILD, at the PAM4 Nyquist), and a transceiver design (die and package) that works well at PAM4 rate, PAM4 would out
PAM4 is the preferred modulation scheme for transmitting data at 224 Gbps due to higher bandwidth efficiency, reduced power consumption and improved scalability.
