Abstract:
A Continuous Time Linear Equalizer (CTLE) and a method of operating a CTLE in a receiver for a Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) signal are disclosed. The method includes initiating equalization using an initial equalization setting that is optimized to meet a first objective and responsive to a determination, shifting to a final equalization setting that is optimized to meet a second objective.
Abstract:
A method for adapting a mixed signal Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) using pivot taps and monitor taps is disclosed. The method includes, for a given IIR path for a received signal, updating gain of the given IIR path using a respective pivot tap error-data correlation with a first Least Mean Square (LMS) update equation; and updating a time constant of the given IIR path using a respective monitor tap error-data correlation with a second LMS update equation.

Abstract:
A device and method for providing clock data recovery (CDR) in a receiver is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a Phase Amplitude Modulation (PAM) signal; on startup, using a non-return-to-zero (NRZ)-based phase frequency detector (PFD) to acquire signal frequency from the received PAM signal; and responsive to a determination, switching to a PAM phase detector (PD) for steady state operation.

Abstract:
A device for updating complex channel gain estimates for orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols that includes a receiver to receive a plurality of OFDM symbols, wherein each OFDM symbol includes a plurality of pilot tones at a subset of odd positions and a finite impulse response (FIR) filter. The FIR filter configured to filter a plurality of initial channel estimates of odd tones of an OFDM symbol using a first set of coefficients to generate an updated estimate of the channel estimates of the plurality of odd tones for that OFDM symbol, and filter the plurality of the initial channel estimates of the odd tones of the OFDM symbol using a second set of coefficients to generate estimates for a plurality of initial channel estimates of even tones for that OFDM symbol.
