    摘要: A continuous time equalizer for equalizing an input signal using a feedforward equalizer portion and a feedback equalizer portion is provided that includes: a slicer operable to make bit decisions on a combined output from the feedforward and feedback equalizer portions; an adaptive delay circuit operable to delay the combined output to form a delayed output; and a controller operable to control the delay provided by the adaptive delay circuit such that a first group delay through the slicer and a second group delay through the adaptive delay circuit in response to a sinusoidal form of the input signal are substantially equal.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed to adaptively generate coefficients for continuous time least mean square error equalizers and to correct offset in high-gain amplifiers. An adaptive coefficient generator includes a bank of individual coefficient generators, each utilizing a first adaptive correction signal for a first correction and a second adaptive correction signal for a second more precise correction. The adaptive correction signals for offset correction can be a current or voltage. The first adaptive correction signal is set by maintaining the second adaptive correction signal constant, such as setting it to zero, and adjusting the first signal until the magnitude of the coefficient is minimized. The second adaptive correction signal is then set by maintaining the first adaptive correction signal at its set value by adjusting the second signal until the magnitude of the coefficient is again minimized.

    摘要: A waveform shaping method comprises: (a) receiving link-distorted signal pulses; (b) passing the link-distorted signal pulses through a series of differential amplifiers each have independently tunable, base gains, peak boost gains, boost frequencies and boost bandwidths; and (c) adjusting one or more of the base gains, peak boost gains, boost frequencies and boost bandwidths of the series of differential amplifiers so as to realize a selective and progressive waveform re-shaping of the link-distorted signal pulses. In one embodiment, each amplifier in the series has first and second transistors with respective first and second drain nodes through which sum-constant currents respectively flow; and first and second, variable drain impedances (Zd1, Zd2) coupled to the first and second drain nodes, where each of the variable drain impedances has a non-negligible inductance (L), a non-negligible capacitance (C) and a non-negligible resistance (R), and where at least two of the R, L and C factors are programmably and independently adjustable so that an input voltage versus output voltage transfer function of the differential amplifier can exhibit a peak gain at a corresponding peak boost frequency which is greater than a base gain of the differential amplifier at 0 Hz.

    摘要: A bandgap reference includes a current source providing a current that is proportional to the sum of a first voltage having a positive-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) temperature dependency and a second voltage having a complementary-to-absolute-temperature (CTAT) dependency. The bandgap reference further includes a variable resistor comprising a fixed resistor that may be selectively combined with one or more of a plurality of selectable resistors, wherein the first voltage is inversely proportional to the resistance of the variable resistor.
