With the insatiable need for more compute power comes the need to increase interconnect bandwidth while decreasing costs. PAM4 (Pulse Amplitude Modulation – 4 Level) is one of the more common modulation formats used for data communications. PAM4 encodes two bits of information into four intensity levels (00, 01, 10, or 11), thus doubling the information transferred per clock cycle as compared to NRZ (non-return-to-zero), which carries only 1 bit per symbol (either a 0 or a 1). This enables engineers to use lower-cost components while also transferring twice the amount of information as compared to traditional NRZ modulation.
