DIGITALLY CONTROLLED UNIFIED RECEIVER FOR MULTI-RANK SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18614490 titled 'DIGITALLY CONTROLLED UNIFIED RECEIVER FOR MULTI-RANK SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation:

The patent application describes a multi-rank circuit system that includes multiple transmitters connected to a shared input/output channel and a unified receiver at the other end of the channel. The receiver adjusts the output based on the specific transmitter in use.

  • The system consists of multiple transmitters and a unified receiver.
  • Transmitters are switchable and connected to a shared input/output channel.
  • The receiver adjusts the output based on the transmitter in use.
  • An analog reference voltage is applied to set the output, and a digital code is used to fine-tune it.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Multiple transmitters connected to a shared channel.
  • Unified receiver adjusts output based on transmitter selection.
  • Analog reference voltage and digital code used for output adjustment.

Potential Applications:

  • Communication systems.
  • Data transmission networks.
  • Signal processing applications.

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient switching between transmitters.
  • Precise output adjustment based on transmitter selection.

Benefits:

  • Improved signal quality.
  • Enhanced control over output.
  • Streamlined communication processes.

Commercial Applications:

Title: Multi-Rank Circuit System for Enhanced Signal Control

This technology could be used in various industries such as telecommunications, data centers, and industrial automation for improved signal processing and communication efficiency.

Questions about Multi-Rank Circuit System:

1. How does the unified receiver determine which transmitter is in use? 2. What are the advantages of using multiple transmitters in this system?


Original Abstract Submitted

A multi-rank circuit system includes multiple transmitters each switchably coupled to a first end of a shared input/output (IO) channel and a unified receiver coupled to a second end of the shared IO channel. The unified receiver is coupled to apply an analog reference voltage to set a differential output of the unified receiver, and further configured to apply a variable digital code to adjust the differential output according to a particular one of the transmitters that is switched to the shared IO channel.
