1. An integrated circuit device comprising:
- an output node including a pad for coupling to a wired transmission line;
a plurality of equalizer circuits including coefficient storage circuits for storing selected tap coefficients; and
wireline transmission circuitry coupled to the output node and to output via the output node for wireline transmission along the wired transmission line either a baseband signal or a multi-band signal based on the selected tap coefficients.

Abstract
A multi-mode transmitter within an integrated circuit device. The multi-mode transmitter transmits a first data sequence in a baseband signal when a first transmission mode is enabled, and transmits the first data sequence in a multi-band signal when a second transmission mode is enabled.
