Abstract
A method and apparatus for enlarging data eyes in a wireline communication system involves pre-coding a data signal before transmission to generate a constant frequency characteristic independent of a state of the pre-coded data signal. The receiving circuit includes a circuit that temporally expands at least a portion of the pre-coded data signal. The portion of the temporally expanded data signal is latched by the receiving circuit.
