    Abstract: A transceiver architecture supports high-speed communication over a signal lane that extends between a high-performance integrated circuit (IC) and one or more relatively low-performance ICs employing less sophisticated transmitters and receivers. The architecture compensates for performance asymmetry between ICs communicating over a bidirectional lane by instantiating relatively complex transmit and receive equalization circuitry on the higher-performance side of the lane. Both the transmit and receive equalization filter coefficients in the higher-performance IC may be adaptively updated based upon the signal response at the receiver of the higher-performance IC.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method includes sampling a data signal having a voltage value at an expected edge time of the data signal. A first alpha value is generated, and a second alpha value generated in dependence upon the voltage value. The data signal is adjusted by the first alpha value to derive a first adjusted signal. The data signal is adjusted by the second alpha value to derive a second adjusted signal. The first adjusted signal is sampled to output a first data value while the second adjusted signal is sampled to output a second data value. A selection is made between the first data value and the second data value as a function of a prior received data value to determine a received data value.

    Abstract: An intergrated circuit (IC) chip includes receiver circuitry to receive signals from a second IC chip. The receiver circuitry includes equalization circuitry having at least one tap to equalize the signals. The equalization circuitry includes a tap weight adapter circuit to generate at least one tap weight corresponding to the at least one tap based on edge information of previously received signals.

    Abstract: A receiver device implements enhanced data reception with edge-based clock and data recovery such as with a flash analog-to-digital converter architecture. In an example embodiment, the device implements a first phase adjustment control loop, with for example, a bang-bang phase detector, that detects data transitions for adjusting sampling at an optimal edge time with an edge sampler by adjusting a phase of an edge clock of the sampler. This loop may further adjust sampling in received data intervals for optimal data reception by adjusting the phase of a data clock of a data sampler such a flash ADC. The device may also implement a second phase adjustment control loop with, for example, a baud-rate phase detector, that detects data intervals for further adjusting sampling at an optimal data time with the data sampler.
