    Abstract: Automatic digital sensing and compensation of frequency drift caused by temperature, aging, and/or other effects may be provided by including a compensation capacitor array and a sensing logic. The sensing logic may be configured to detect a drift in a first control signal and to provide the compensation capacitor array with a second control signal. The second control signal is configured to cause an adjustment of capacitance in the compensation capacitor array based on the detected drift in the first control signal.

    Abstract: Described are apparatuses and methods for generating floating taps for decision feedback equalizers. An apparatus may include a first delay cell including a first group of binary weighted sets of flip-flops to output a first signal, and a second delay cell including a second group of binary weighted sets of flip-flops to output a second signal. The apparatus may further include a multiplexer coupled to the first delay cell and the second delay cell to output a tap signal based on the first signal and the second signal. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
