    Abstract: A Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) with programmable taps includes a summer configured to receive a DFE input signal. Delay elements are coupled to the summer. The delay elements are connected in series. Each delay element provides a respective delayed signal of an input signal to the delay element. A weight generator is configured to provide tap weights. The DFE is configured to multiply each tap weight to the respective delayed signal from the respective delay element to provide tap outputs. Each tap output is selectively enabled to be added to the summer or disabled based on a first comparison of a first threshold value and each impulse response or each tap weight corresponding to the respective tap output, where the impulse response is the DFE input signal in response to a pulse signal transmitted through a channel.

    Abstract: An inductor-capacitor phase locked loop (LCPLL) includes an inductor-capacitor voltage controlled oscillator (LCVCO) that provides an output frequency. A calibration circuit includes two comparators and provides a coarse tune signal to the LCVCO. The two comparators respectively compare the loop filter signal with a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage that is higher than the first reference voltage to supply a first and second comparator output, respectively. The calibration circuit is capable of adjusting the coarse tune signal continuously in voltage values and adjusts the coarse tune signal based on the two comparator outputs. A loop filter provides a loop filter signal to the calibration circuit and a fine tune signal to the LCVCO. A coarse tune frequency range is greater than a fine tune frequency range.
