    摘要: A tapped delay chain comprises a plurality of delay cells where each cell has at least two output taps: a primary one for feeding forward a delayed signal to a next cell in the chain, and a secondary output tap for feeding a slightly-differently delayed signal to a multiplier unit so that the slightly-differently delayed signal can be multiplied by a weighting coefficient. The split of output taps in each delay cell allows for a corresponding split of loading capacitance. Each output tap of the delay cell is loaded by a smaller capacitance than it would have had to otherwise drive had the split taps been instead lumped together as a common node. The reduced loading capacitance at each of the split taps allows for a wider frequency response range. The tapped delay chain may be used to form a feed-forward equalizer (FFE) which further comprises an adder, and a plurality of multipliers each respectively receiving a delayed input signal (Sin(delayed)) from a secondary output tap of a respective delay cell in the chain and each outputting a correspondingly delayed and weighted, product signal (Pi) to the adder.

    摘要: T-coil structures are used in one embodiment to inject programmably-variable amounts of transistor biasing currents into the respective drains of current sinking transistor means of a broadband differential amplifier such that, when the differential amplifier is in common mode, total transistor drain current will exceed total voltage-dropping current passing through corresponding voltage-dropping resistances of the amplifier's transistor means. The T-coil structures keep the parasitic capacitances of the programmable current sources that provide the bias currents de-lumped from capacitances of the amplifier's output nodes and/or capacitances of the amplifier's voltage-dropping resistances (variable resistances) to thereby maintain a wide bandwidth.

    摘要: Systems and methods provide analog delay elements, which may be utilized in isolation or in a cascade, such as for use within equalizers or other types of applications. For example, a delay element may include a broadband amplifier and a passive, programmable filter, which may provide a desired magnitude and group delay response over a wide frequency range while being tolerant of process variations. An equalizer, for example, may include the delay element within its feed forward filter and/or within its other circuits, such as within its adaptive coefficient generator or slicer input time-align circuit.
