    Abstract: A serial data receiver circuit included in a computer system may include a front-end circuit, a sample circuit that includes multiple analog-to-digital converter circuits, and a recovery circuit. The front-end circuit may generate an equalized signal using multiple signals that encode a serial data stream of multiple data symbols. Based on a baud rate of the serial data stream, a determined number of the multiple analog-to-digital converter circuits sample, using a recovered clock signal, the equalized signal at the respective times to generate corresponding samples. The recovery circuit generates, using the samples, the recovered clock signal and recovered data symbols.

    Abstract: A receiver converter circuit included in a computer system may receive multiple signals that encode a serial data stream that encode multiple data symbols. To correct for baseline wander, the receiver circuit may generate a disparity signal that is used to control the application of a differential voltage to the multiple signals. The receiver circuit may also employ the disparity signal to generate a gradient against which the magnitude of differential voltage is calibrated.
