Abstract:
A sample voltage is received from a device at a first slicer element and a second slicer element. A decision by the first slicer element based on the sample voltage is identified and compared with a decision of the second slicer element based on the sample voltage. The decision of the second slicer element is to be generated from a comparison of the sample voltage with a reference voltage for the second slicer element. Comparing the decisions can be the basis of a soft error ratio determined for a device.
