    摘要: A decision feedback equalizer (DFE) and method include at least two paths. Each path includes the following. An adder is configured to sum an input with a first feedback tap fed back from a different path. A latch is coupled to the adder to receive a summation signal as input. The latch includes a transparent state, and an output of the latch is employed as the first tap in a feedback path to an adder of a different path, wherein a partially resolved first tap in the feedback path is employed during the transparent state to provide a soft decision to supply correction information in advance of a hard decision of the latch.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for timing recovery for an input/output bus with link redundancy. A parallel input/output interface receiver includes a plurality of data receivers, each configured to respectively receive input data from a respective one of n+m channels, where n is an integer greater than one and m is an integer greater than or equal to one. The input data is non-calibration data for the n channels and is calibration data for the m channels. The interface receiver further includes a first phase adjustor configured to provide a first clock signal to the plurality of data receivers for sampling of only the non-calibration data at any given time, and a second phase adjustor configured to provide a second clock signal to the plurality of data receivers for sampling of only the calibration data at any given time.

    摘要: Voltage regulator circuits and methods implementing hybrid fast-slow passgate control circuitry are provided to minimize the ripple amplitude of a regulated voltage output. In one aspect, a voltage regulator circuit includes a comparator, a first passgate device, a second passgate device, and a bandwidth limiting control circuit. The comparator compares a reference voltage to a regulated voltage at an output node of the voltage regulator circuit and generates a first control signal on a first gate control path based on a result of the comparing. The first and second passgate devices are connected to the output node of the regulator circuit. The first passgate device is controlled in a bang-bang mode of operation by the first control signal to supply current to the output node. The bandwidth limiting control circuit has an input connected to the first gate control path and an output connected to the second passgate device. The bandwidth limiting control circuit generates a second control signal based on the first control signal, wherein the second control signal is a slew rate limited version of the first control signal, and wherein the second passgate is controlled by the second control signal to supply current to the output node.

    摘要: A decision feedback equalizer (DFE) and method including a branch coupled to an input and including a sample-and-hold element configured to receive and sample a received input signal from the input and a current-integrating summer. The current-integrating summer is coupled to an output of the sample-and-hold element. The summer is configured to receive and sum currents representing at least one previous decision and an input sample. The at least one previous decision and the input sample are integrated onto a node, wherein the input sample is held constant during an integration period, thereby mitigating the effects of input transitions on an output of the summer.
