==CODING FOR PULSE AMPLITUDE MODULATION WITH AN ODD NUMBER OF OUTPUT LEVELS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17945429 titled 'CODING FOR PULSE AMPLITUDE MODULATION WITH AN ODD NUMBER OF OUTPUT LEVELS

==Simplified Explanation==

The present disclosure describes embodiments of a driver circuit that includes impedance elements and inverter circuits for encoding data.

* The driver circuit consists of a first impedance element connected to a first inverter circuit and a second impedance element connected to both the first impedance element and a second inverter circuit.
* During the first encoding, the first and second inverter circuits are controlled to allow a first current to flow through the impedance elements in a specific direction and with a specific value.
* In the second encoding, the inverter circuits are controlled to enable a second current to flow through the impedance elements in the opposite direction but with the same value as the first current.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

The present disclosure describes embodiments of driver circuit. The driver circuit includes a first impedance element electrically coupled to a first inverter circuit and a second impedance element electrically coupled to the first impedance element and a second inverter circuit. For a first encoding using the driver circuit, the first inverter circuit and the second inverter circuit are controlled such that a first current flows through the first and second impedance elements, the first current having a first value and a first direction. For a second encoding using the driver circuit, the first inverter circuit and the second inverter circuit are controlled such that a second current flows through the first and second impedance elements, the second current having a second value and a second direction. The first value is substantially the same as the second value and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.
