    摘要: In some embodiments, an adaptive filter employs two adaptation modes, where during one adaptation mode the adaptive filter is updated only when the received training sample is a first binary value and during the other adaptation mode the adaptive filter is updated only when the received sample is a second binary value. Each adaptation mode provides a set of filter weights, and these two sets of filter weights are averaged to provide an adapted set of filter weights. The use of two adaptation mode allows for a clock boundary in which the digital portion of the filter operates at a lower clock rate than the analog portion. In other embodiments, a filter architecture is described for providing the algebraic signs of the received data samples, important for sign-sign least means square filtering algorithms. In other embodiments, a filter architecture is described in which efficient use is made of voltage-to-current converters so as to achieve a high throughput rate during filtering. Embodiments of the present invention have application to channel equalization.

    摘要: An adaptive equalizer finite impulse response (FIR) filter for high-speed communication channels with modest complexity, where the filter is iteratively updated during a training sequence by a circuit performing the update: {overscore (h)}(t+1)={overscore (h)}(t)+μ[sgn{d(t)}−sgn{z(t)−Kd(t)}]sgn{{overscore (x)}(t)}, where {overscore (h)}(t) is the filter vector representing the filter taps of the FIR filter, {overscore (x)}(t) is the data vector representing present and past samples of the received data x(t), d(t) is the desired data used for training, z(t) is the output of the FIR filter, μ determines the memory or window size of the adaptation, and K is a scale factor taking into account practical limitations of the communication channel, receiver, and equalizer. Furthermore, a procedure and circuit structure is provided for calibrating the scale factor K.

    摘要: A novel circuit technique for reducing leakage currents through the read-path of large register files in which a negative gate-source voltage is forced on a critical pass transistor between a cell read transistor and a local bitline such that when the cell is in a first state, the leakage current from a dynamic node of the cell read transistor is reduced. The reduced leakage current increases the robustness and performance of the read operation.
