Abstract: According to an embodiment of the inventive concept, a device for PAM-3 signaling includes an encoder selecting one of first to ninth transitions in first and second unit intervals that are successive and mapping data of three bits by using a remaining eight transitions other than the one selected among the first to ninth transitions, and an output driver receiving an output signal of the encoder via an input and generating a multi-level signal having an output voltage of first to third levels. The data of three bits is transmitted to a receiver terminal through the multi-level signal having the output voltage of the first to third levels during the first and second unit intervals that are successive. The device for PAM-3 signaling according to an embodiment of the inventive concept may transmit three bits during two unit intervals and may allow a receiver terminal to detect a windowing phenomenon.

Abstract: An optical receiver includes a transimpedance amplifier that converts a current signal corresponding to an optical signal into a voltage signal. The transimpedance amplifier includes an input terminal receiving the current signal, an output terminal outputting the voltage signal, an inverting circuit including a pull-up device that pull-up drives the voltage signal of the output terminal according to the current signal, and a pull-down device that pull-down drives the voltage signal of the output terminal according to the current signal, a feedback resistor electrically connected between the input and output terminals, a first resistor electrically connected between the input terminal and the pull-up device, and a second resistor electrically connected between the input terminal and the pull-down device.
