Abstract
This article presents a pulse-amplitude modulation
(PAM)-4-based 25.6-Gb/s serial interface for high-bandwidth
(BW) and large-capacity storage systems consisting of
NAND flash
memory. A conventional interface with multi-drop bus topology
between the
NAND flash memories and their controller has an
inevitable tradeoff between BW and capacity if we assume a
reasonable PCB design in which the numbers of pins and wires
near the
NAND controller is limited. Although a daisy-chain-based
interface can reso
