Abstract: Decision feedback equalization (DFE) is used to help reduce inter-symbol interference (ISI) from a data signal received via a band-limited (or otherwise non-ideal) channel. A first PAM-4 DFE architecture has low latency from the output of the samplers to the application of the first DFE tap feedback to the input signal. This is accomplished by not decoding the sampler outputs in order to generate the feedback signal for the first DFE tap. Rather, weighted versions of the raw sampler outputs are applied directly to the input signal without further analog or digital processing. Additional PAM-4 DFE architectures use the current symbol in addition to previous symbol(s) to determine the DFE feedback signal. Another architecture transmits PAM-4 signaling using non-uniform pre-emphasis. The non-uniform pre-emphasis allows a speculative DFE receiver to resolve the transmitted PAM-4 signals with fewer comparators/samplers.
