Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described for space-efficient, high-speed data communications for integrated circuits. Bandwidth is multiplied by using multiple individual wireline communications channels coupled to form a communications lane. The data receiver for a channel implements symbol-rate equalization and crosstalk filtering that is space efficient, allowing high-speed data communications to be added as an ancillary function to an IC.
