    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for equalizing a received signal. A received signal is equalized by updating one or more equalization parameters; and discarding the updated equalization parameters if one or more predefined qualifier conditions are detected during the equalizing step. The received signal can optionally be equalized using the updated equalization parameters if the predefined qualifier conditions are not detected during the equalizing step. The updated equalization parameters can optionally be stored if the one or more predefined qualifier conditions are not detected during the equalizing step.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for generating one or more clock signals for a decision-feedback equalizer using DFE detected data. A received signal is sampled using a data clock and a transition clock to generate a data sample signal and a transition sample signal, respectively. A DFE correction is obtained for each of the data sample and transition sample signals to generate DFE detected data and a DFE transition data. The DFE detected data and DFE transition data are then applied to a phase detector that generates a signal to adjust a phase of one or more of the data clock and transition clock. In a multi-level implementation, the received signal is sampled using a clock associated with each of the levels and the samples are latched using a vertical slicing technique to generate DFE data associated with each of said levels.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided fox equalizing a received signal. A received signal is equalized by determining a data rate of the received signal; obtaining one or more equalization parameters associated with the determined data rate; and equalizing the received signal using the obtained one or more equalization parameters. The equalization parameters may comprise, for example, one or more of a gain parameter, zero control for a high pass filter and one or more threshold settings for one or more latches used during the equalizing step, such as data latches or transition latches (or both).

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for improving the jitter tolerance in an SFP limit amplified signal. Jitter tolerance is improved in a communications receiver by applying a received signal to an SFP limiting amplifier; and applying an output of the SFP limiting amplifier to a low pass filter to improve the jitter tolerance. The low pass filter optionally applies a programmable amount of attenuation to high frequency components of the output. The low pass filter slew rate controls (i.e., rotates) a data eye representation of the received signal to increase the data eye representation along a time axis. The noise margin of the received signal can optionally be improved by applying an output of the low pass filter to an all pass filter. A slew rate controller can evaluate the data eye statistics to determine a setting for the low pass filter.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for improving the performance of second order CDR systems. The integral state of the CDR system is initialized to a value that is based on an expected frequency profile that may be known a priori for certain applications. One or more quality of lock (QOL) metrics are also monitored that are derived from the integral register state value. A quality of a locking between a received signal and a local clock generated by a Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) system is evaluated by monitoring a state value of an integral register in a digital loop filter of the CDR system; evaluating one or more predefined criteria based on the integral register state value; and identifying a poor lock condition if the one or more predefined criteria are not satisfied.

    摘要: In an exemplary embodiment, noise prediction-based data detection is described with respect to a SERDES (serializer/deserializer) backplane primary channel subject to inter-symbol interference (ISI) noise and added cross-talk noise from other channels. Noise prediction-based data detection combines an added error component from inter-symbol interference (ISI) noise and an added error component from cross-talk noise into an overall noise prediction error term and cancels effects of residual ISI and cross-talk for various components of the exemplary embodiment.
