    Abstract: A system for a backplane serializer/deserializer (SerDes) including first and second integrated circuits (IC). The first and second ICs include transmitters and receivers coupled to each other through first and second bidirectional links. A first receiver is configured to receive first data at a data rate on a first channel supported by both the first bidirectional link and the second bidirectional link. A second receiver is configured to receive second data at the data rate on a second channel supported by both the first bidirectional link and the second bidirectional link. The backplane SerDes is configured to transfer the first and second data in full duplex mode by employing two-bit pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM-4) to reduce signaling speed of the first and second bidirectional links without reducing throughput of a lane pair including the first and second channels.

    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for at least mitigating a signal reflection. Included is a filter configured to receive a data signal for transmission, and filter the data signal to generate a filtered data signal. Also included is a gain regulator in electrical communication with the filter. The gain regulator is configured to receive the filtered data signal for adjusting a gain of the filtered data signal to generate a gain regulator output signal for use in at least mitigating a signal reflection. Further, a controller is provided in electrical communication with the filter and the gain regulator. The controller is configured to receive the filtered data signal, and process the filtered data signal to generate at least one controller output signal for use in controlling the filter and the gain regulator.

    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for reducing a number of intersymbol interference components to be suppressed. Included is a receiver path with a linear equalizer configured to: receive a signal pulse including a data component and a first number of post-cursor intersymbol interference components, delay and process the signal pulse such that the signal pulse includes a second number of post-cursor intersymbol interference components which is less than the first number of post-cursor intersymbol interference components, and produce an output signal that includes the data component and the second number of post-cursor intersymbol interference components. The receiver path further includes a decision feedback equalizer in electrical communication with the linear equalizer. The decision feedback equalizer is configured to: receive the output signal from the linear equalizer, and suppress the second number of the post-cursor intersymbol interference components of the output signal.
