    Abstract: Provided is a low latency high bandwidth clock and data recovery (CDR) system. For example, there is a low latency high bandwidth CDR system including a demultiplexer configured to convert a high frequency input datastream to a low frequency output datastream according to a first latency and a phase error processor at least partially embedded into the demultiplexer and configured to determine a datastream phase error of the high frequency input datastream according to a second latency. The embedded phase error processor allows a portion of a total latency of the CDR system due to the demultiplexer and the phase error processor to be less than a sum of the first and second latencies.

    Abstract: An adaptive algorithm is implemented that optimizes the slicer threshold by optimizing the tail distribution of a “+1” and “−1” histogram. Through the use of a low resolution and under-sampled ADC, a histogram of received bit may be created. The difference between the y-intersects of lines derived from the “+1” and “−1” histogram is used to determine an error function. The algorithm iteratively updates the threshold value based on this error function.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for an automatic gain control circuit (AGC) that utilizes freezing and unfreezing states. A freezing process moves the AGC into a TRANSITION state from a NORMAL state, based on net change of VGA gain control codes over a monitoring time window. The freezing process then moves the AGC into a FROZEN state from the TRANSITION state, based on net change of VGA gain control codes over the monitoring time window. An unfreezing process moves the AGC into the NORMAL state from the FROZEN state, based on signal amplitude changes at the output of the VGA or other parameters of the VGA.
