摘要:
A receiver having analog-to-digital converters (ADC) is disclosed. The ADCs may be reconfigured based on the insertion loss mode of the receiver. For example, different portions of a plurality of time-interleaved successive approximation (SAR) ADC slices included in at least one sub-ADC of each time-interleaved ADC may be enabled depending on which of a plurality of insertion loss modes is selected for operation of the receiver.

A receiver having analog-to-digital converters (ADC) is disclosed. The ADCs may be reconfigured based on the data rate of the receiver. For example, more portions of each time-interleaved ADC may be enabled to support a higher data rate of the receiver and less portions of the ADCs may be used to support a lower data rate of the receiver.

A multi-mode viterbi decoder supporting different decoding modes. The viterbi decoder comprises circuitry to output one or more data symbol values. The circuitry sets the one or more data symbol values to a first quantity of unit intervals in a first decoding mode (e.g. PAM-4). The circuitry sets the one or more data symbol values to a second quantity of unit intervals in a second decoding mode (e.g. NRZ). The second quantity of unit intervals is greater than the first quantity of unit intervals. A branch metric circuit is adapted to, in the first decoding mode, generate a set of viterbi branch metrics based on the data symbol values for the first quantity of unit intervals. The branch metric circuit is adapted to, in the second decoding mode, generate the set of viterbi branch metrics based on the data symbol values for the second quantity of unit intervals.

A receiver having an analog to digital converter with adjustable reference voltages that are calibrated to account for process variations. The receiver comprises an analog to digital converter. The analog to digital converter includes a reference generator to generate a set of N reference voltages. The reference generator adjusts voltage levels of the set of N reference voltages based on one or more control signals. A plurality of comparators compare an input signal to the set of N reference voltages. A calibration circuit generates the one or more control signals for adjusting the voltage levels of the N reference voltages based on outputs of the comparators.

A receiver having analog to digital converters with phase adjustable sampling clocks. A first analog to digital converter converts an analog signal into first digital samples under control of a first sampling clock. A first clock generator adjusts a phase of the first sampling clock based on at least one first phase control signal. A second analog to digital converter converts the analog signal into second digital samples under control of a second sampling clock. A second clock generator adjusts the phase of the second sampling clock based on at least one second phase control signal. A data decision circuit recovers data based on the first and second samples. Feedback circuitry receives the recovered data and generates at least one first phase control signal for the first clock generator and generates at least one second phase control signal for the second clock generator based on the first phase control signal.

A receiver for high speed communications. The receiver includes an analog to digital converter to convert an analog input signal into at least one digital input signal at timings controlled by a sampling clock. A finite impulse response filter generates at least one filtered input signal based on the digital input signal. A data decision circuit recovers data based on the filtered input signal. The filtered input signal and the recovered data can be provided to a feedback loop to determine a timing error of the sampling clock, which is then used to generate the sampling clock.
