Non-return-to-zero (NRZ) is a binary digital signal modulation method applied in optical modules. The binary signal is encoded using rectangular pulse-amplitude modulation with polar NRZ (L), or polar non-return-to-zero-level code. In telecommunications, a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) line code is a binary code in which ones are represented by one significant condition, usually a positive voltage. This document examines key technologies used in constructing LinkX cables and transceivers for 100G-PAM4, 50G-PAM4, and 25G-NRZ -modulation based interconnects used to create 800G, 400G, 200G, 100G and 25Gb/s aggregate data rates. This application note applies to following single-chip transceivers: (T1) DS21352, DS21552, DS21Q352, and DS21Q552; (E1) DS21354. Modulation plays a crucial role in how Near Field Communication (NFC) transmits data wirelessly between devices. NFC relies on different modulation techniques to encode and transfer data efficiently and reliably.
