Introduction to PAM4
• Instead of just using 2-level thresholds, we add another two Pulse-Amplitude Modulation 4-Level (PAM4) represent two bits per symbol using four voltage levels
An Introduction to 224G System Architecture
By transmitting two bits per symbol, PAM4 operates at a lower symbol rate than NRZ modulation and therefore consumes less power than NRZ when producing the same data rate. Further, this
