To keep the energy consumption of serial data transceivers within the expected budget, industry is looking for more advanced signaling methods that use more efficiently the available frequency spectrum.

To reduce time to market, improve yield, and reduce product cost, today industry is moving more and more toward using MCM technology. In this type of systems, in which several dies are placed on the same substrate, high-speed and low-power serial communication between dies is critically important. Due to stringent energy budget, these systems employ many advance clocking and equalization techniques to keep the consumption low.
