In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an input signal from a receiver, receiving a data clock (DCLK) signal, and receiving a boundary clock (BCLK) signal. The method includes, based on the input signal and the DCLK signal, recovering data from the input signal to produce a first output signal. The method includes, based on the input signal and the BCLK signal, recovering boundaries between bits in the input signal to produce a second output signal. The method includes, based on the first and second output signals, producing the DCLK and BCLK signals, with the DCLK signal being delayed with respect to the BCLK signal less than approximately 0.5 unit intervals (UIs) and greater than or equal to approximately zero UIs.

A method for correcting DC offsets in a multi-stage amplifier includes determining a DC offset imparted by a multi-stage amplifier to an input signal. The method further includes applying a correction voltage to a plurality of selected stages in the multi-stage amplifier. The total correction voltage applied substantially negates the DC offset imparted by the multi-stage amplifier.

A method for compensating for attenuation in an input signal includes receiving an input signal, communicating a first portion of the input signal on a first path, communicating a second portion of the input signal on a second path, and communicating a third portion of the input signal on a third path. The method also includes applying a first gain to the first portion of the input signal, applying a first-order mathematical operation and a second gain to the second portion of the input signal, and applying a second-order mathematical operation and a third gain to the portion of the input signal. The method further includes recombining the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion into an output signal.

A termination system includes a termination element, a reference resistance system, and a feedback control system. The termination element includes one or more transfer gates. The transfer gates are comprised of one or more transistors that provide some resistance value that is dependent upon which transistors are in an on state or an off state. The termination element is connected to a driver system and an electrical signal line. The reference resistance system is used to provide a reference resistance value that is substantially equivalent to a line characteristic impedance of the electrical signal line. The feedback control system is connected to the reference resistance system and the termination element. The feedback control system uses the reference resistance system to generate an adjustment signal for the termination element so that the resistance value of the termination element substantially matches the line characteristic impedance of the electrical signal line. The adjustment signal places the transistors of the transfer gate in an on state or an off state so that the resistance value of the termination element is accordingly matched to the line characteristic impedance. In addition, a method for adjusting a resistance value of a terminator element is described. A method for generating an adjustment signal is also described.

A system for combining a plurality of signals of various phases having a wide frequency range includes a signal transmuter configured to receive a plurality of input signals of different phases. The signal transmuter is also configured to generate at least one output signal based on one or more of the input signals. The system also includes at least one switch configured to receive a control signal and operable to selectively couple at least one associated capacitor to the at least one output signal. The coupling is such that the capacitor is coupled to the at least one output signal when the switch is closed. The control signal is set to substantially reduce the saturation of the at least one output signal.

Equalizing a signal includes receiving a data sequence signal having an amplitude. An adjustment of the data sequence signal operable to equalize the data sequence signal is determined. A control signal operable to adjust the amplitude of the data sequence signal in accordance with the adjustment is generated, where the control signal has an analog form. The amplitude of the data sequence signal is adjusted using the control signal in order to equalize the data sequence signal.
