PAM4 Signaling in High Speed Serial Technology: Test, Analysis,
Since CTLEs are passive filters, they''re no different in PAM4 systems than in PAM2-NRZ systems, but with four symbol levels, the decisions that PAM4 DFEs feedback are more complicated.

The Road from 1 Gbps-NRZ to 224 Gbps-PAM4
In copper, PAM4 uses four voltage levels to represent two-bits of data per symbol. By encoding two or more bits per symbol, PAM increases the data rate without increasing the required channel bandwidth.
