An example embodiment of the present invention provides a semiconductor device including: an encoder configured to receive a plurality of bit data by dividing the plurality of bit data into first group data and second group data, the plurality of bit data being divided into 2-bit units, to delay the second group data for a first period, and to output the first group data and the delayed second group data; and an output driver configured to output the first group data and the delayed second group data together to an external semiconductor device.

Semiconductor device

A receiver includes an interface configured to receive a data signal based on an n-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-n) in which n is an integer equal to or greater than 4. The interface may include an analog-digital converting circuit configured to adjust a reference voltage, for distinguishing second bit data from the data signal in a second section, based on first bit data converted from the data signal in a first section and the first bit data converted from the data signal in the second section, the second section being after the first section.

Receiver for data signal based on pulse amplitude modulation and interface therefor

An apparatus includes an equalization circuit, an error prediction circuit, a sequence estimation circuit, and a selection circuit. The equalization circuit is configured to generate a first data sequence and a first equalized signal from an input signal received through a channel. The error prediction circuit is configured to predict an error based on the first equalized signal when the error is predicted. When the error is predicted, the sequence estimation circuit is configured to generate a second data sequence from the first data sequence and the predicted error. The selection circuit is configured to output the second data sequence when the predicted error is determined to be an actual error and to otherwise output the first data sequence.
