Abstract
A device includes a transmitter coupled to a node, where the node is to couple to a wired link. The transmitter has a plurality of modes of operation including a calibration mode in which a range of communication data rates over the wired link is determined in accordance with a voltage margin corresponding to the wired link at a predetermined errorrate. The range of communication data rates includes a maximum data rate, which can be a non-integer multiple of an initial data rate.
