Abstract:
Various example embodiments are disclosed. According to an example embodiment, an apparatus may include a continuous time filter, a decision feedback equalizer, a clock and data recovery circuit, and an adaptation circuit. The adaptation circuit may be configured to adapt equalization according to at least one dithering algorithm by adjusting a delay adjust signal based on a mean square error of equalized data signals.
Abstract:
In an integrated decision feedback equalizer and clock and data recovery circuit one or more flip-flops and/or latches may be shared. One or more flip-flops and/or latches may be used in retiming operations in a decision feedback equalizer and in phase detection operations in a clock recovery circuit. Outputs of the flip-flops and/or latches may be used to generate feedback signals for the decision feedback equalizer. The output of a flip-flop and/or latches may be used to generate signals that drive a charge pump in the clock recovery circuit.

Abstract:
Equalization is provided in a high speed communication receiver that includes in various aspects an automatic gain control input stage, a decision feedback equalizer, a clock and data recovery circuit and equalization control circuits. The automatic gain control stage may include a continuous time filter with an adjustable bandwidth. A threshold adjust signal may be applied to the output of the automatic gain control stage. The equalization control circuits may be implemented in the digital domain and operate at a lower clock speed than the data path.

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:
According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a terminal configured to receive an analog input signal. In various embodiments, the apparatus may also include a multistage amplifier configured to amplify the analog input signal by an amount of gain. In some embodiments, the apparatus may include a distributed threshold adjuster interspersed between the stages of the multistage amplifier configured to adjust the DC voltage of the analog input signal to facilitate a decision by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). In one embodiment, the apparatus may include the ADC configured to convert the amplified analog input signal to a digital output signal.
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 for communicating data includes equalizing received data to reduce channel related distortion in the received data. A clock having frequency and/or phase fixed relative to the equalized data is extracted from the equalized data. The extracted clock is used to clock a retimer to generate recovered data.
