Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a data transmission system, one or more signal supply voltages for generating the signaling voltage of a signal to be transmitted are generated in a first circuit and forwarded from the first circuit to a second circuit. The second circuit may use the forwarded signal supply voltages to generate another signal to be transmitted back from the second circuit to the first circuit, thereby obviating the need to generate signal supply voltages separately in the second circuit. The first circuit may also adjust the signal supply voltages based on the signal transmitted back from the second circuit to the first circuit. The data transmission system may employ a single-ended signaling system in which the signaling voltage is referenced to a reference voltage that is a power supply voltage such as ground, shared by the first circuit and the second circuit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A data transmission system, comprising: a communication link; a voltage forwarding mechanism; a first circuit coupled to one side of the communication link, the first circuit including a first transmitter and one or more voltage regulators configured to generate at least one signal supply voltage, the first transmitter configured to transmit a first signal onto the communication link, the first signal having a signal swing dependent on the at least one s…
