Abstract:
In a decision feedback equalizer, at least one of weighting devices that has a tap coefficient an absolute value of which is relatively larger than absolute values of tap coefficients of other weighting devices is referred to as a main weighting device, and delay elements are disposed asymmetrically on signal processing paths or updating paths of the to coefficients of the weighting devices in such a manner that an updating interval of the tap coefficient of the main weighting device is shorter than updating intervals of the tap coefficients of the other weighting devices.
Abstract:
A communication system including multiple communication nodes is provided. Each of the multiple communication nodes includes a low speed communication transceiver that is directly connected to a differential communication channel, and a high speed communication transceiver that is AC coupled to the differential channel. The multiple communication nodes include a sending communication node. The sending communication node sends a command to switch from the low speed communication to a high speed communication when the sending communication node performs a low speed communication using the low speed communication transceiver. The sending communication node initiates the high speed communication using the high speed communication transceiver.
Abstract:
A communication system includes a transmission path and multiple nodes. At least one of the multiple nodes includes a second communication portion and a control portion in addition to a first communication portion. When the control portion performs a high speed communication, the control portion shifts the first communication portion included in each of the remaining multiple nodes to a sleep mode. The second communication portion performs a differential communication at a higher speed than the first communication portion using a differential signal. In the differential signal, a maximum of a potential difference between the pair of communication lines is equal to or less than a recessive threshold value, and a minimum of the potential difference between the pair of communication lines is a negative voltage value that has a polarity opposite to the recessive threshold value of the first communication portion.
Abstract:
A distortion compensation system includes a first communication node including a first reception unit including an equalizer configured by a first digital filter unit and a first transmission unit including an emphasis circuit configured by a second digital filter unit, and a second communication node including a second transmission unit transmitting a training pattern before receiving normal data from the first communication node. The equalizer converges a filter constant of the first digital filter unit so that an error of the received training pattern is converged. The first transmission unit performs a distortion compensation using the converged filter constant of the first digital filter unit as at least a part of a filter constant of the second digital filter unit of the emphasis circuit, and then transmits the data.
Abstract:
A waveform equalization apparatus includes an A/D converter, a waveform equalizer, a training sequence generator, a clock recovery circuit, multiple matched filters, and a clock optimization logic. The A/D converter oversamples a reception signal in synchronization with a base clock signal and generates an A/D converted data sequence. The waveform equalizer performs an arithmetic operation to equalize a waveform. The training sequence generator generates a data sequence for training. The data sequence for training is used instead of an output data of the detector so as to converge a coefficient used in the arithmetic operation in advance. The clock recovery circuit supplies the base clock signal without executing a clock recovery operation during a training period, and executes the clock recovery operation according to the output data of the detector. The matched filters receive the A/D converted data sequence, and execute a filter arithmetic operation.
