A method and system for decision feedback equalization for digital transmission systems is provided. Low-power integrating decision feedback equalization with fast switched-capacitor paths are used, for suppressing intersymbol interference (ISI) due to past data symbols. The decision feedback equalization involves performing current-integrating decision feedback equalization at low-power employing a fast capacitively coupled feed-forward path at the output of a current-integrating buffer and inducing voltage changes by charge redistribution via coupled switching capacitors, and performing a voltage digital-to-analog conversation to determine a feedback coefficient as a coupling voltage. Then switches are reset to a pre-charge coupling voltage in the buffers to eliminate residual ISI caused by signal history, thereby achieving current integrating buffering with switched-capacitor feedback during the integration, and the capacitive switches are triggered by previous symbols.

A high-speed receiver includes multiple receiver components. Each receiver component includes sampling latches for receiving data, phase rotators for controlling timing of sampling of data by the sampling latches, and a clock-tracking logic stage for providing clock and data recovery. The clock-tracking logic stage is divided into a high-speed early/late (E/L) logic and aggregation counter section and a low-speed logic section, separated by a synchronization logic block. The receiver also includes a delay locked loop (DLL) for receiving an input clock signal corresponding to a data rate of the received data, providing coarse delay adjustment of the clock signal and outputting multiple clock phase vectors corresponding to the adjusted clock signal to the phase rotators on each receiver component. The phase rotators control sampling of the data based on the clock phase vectors received from the DLL. A single regulated power supply regulator regulates power supplied to the DLL and the phase rotators.
