<p>A pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) mapper (36) includes a constellation matrix memory (40) string indicating of a plurality of different constellations. The constellations are used individually or together to support a plurality of different modem data rates. The mapper (36) also includes a logic block (60), a constellation controller (65), a PAM code generation block (68), and an output register (75). The logic block receives incoming bits and groups the bits as a function of the desired or agreed upon bit rate as indicated by the constellation controller (65), and provides a plurality of each group of bits to the PAM code generation block (68), and one or more sign bits to the output register (75).</p> |
