Abstract
According to some embodiments, time domain reflectometry based transmitter equalization is provided. For example, a reflection detector in a transmitter may detect a reflection signal associated with a calibration signal that was transmitted via an interconnect. The reflection detector may then provide filter information to a transmitting unit to facilitate a transmission of data to a remote receiver via the interconnect. According to some embodiments, the receiver adjusts a termination impedance before the calibration signal is transmitted.
