    摘要: Described embodiments receive a signal by a set of fixed taps and a set of floating taps of a receiver, each tap corresponding to a detected symbol. Each of the floating taps is stored in a corresponding shift register to account for process, operating voltage and temperature (PVT) variations of the receiver without calibration of delay elements. Multiplexing logic selects (i) corresponding floating taps for equalization by coupling selected floating taps to the outputs of the fixed taps, and (ii) different phases of each possible floating tap position. The multiplexing logic prunes and/or amalgamates the phases of each possible floating tap position and selects floating taps based on a magnitude of each phase. A combiner adjusts each output value of the fixed taps and the selected floating taps by a corresponding tap-weight, combines the adjusted values into an output signal and subtracts the output signal from the input signal.

    摘要: In described embodiments, a Serializer-Deserializer (SerDes) receiver includes a pattern detector that allows for detection of insufficiently randomized pattern periods and low activity periods. A freeze of equalization adaptation during these periods might occur by embedding disqualifying patterns into adaptation data. Some embodiments also allow for detection of long intervals of freeze, and so delay a freeze de-assertion in order for a clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit of the receiver to regain lock to the serial data. Embedding freeze information in the receive data allows for precise synchronization of receive data and freeze.

    摘要: A variable gain amplifier (VGA) useful in a receiver that recovers transmitted digital signals. A first amplifier in the VGA has a first gain, an input coupled to an input of the VGA, and an output coupled to a load. A second amplifier in the VGA has a second gain, an input coupled to the input of the VGA, and an output coupled to the load. In a first mode of operation, the first gain is substantially zero and the second gain ranges between a maximum gain and a fraction of the maximum gain. In a second mode of operation the first gain is substantially the maximum gain and the second gain ranges between the maximum gain and the fraction of the maximum gain, and an algebraic sum of the first gain and second gain is no greater than the maximum gain to reduce non-linear distortion at low VGA gain.

    摘要: Described embodiments adjust configurable parameters of at least one filter of a communication system. The method includes conditioning, by an analog front end (AFE) of a receiver in the communication system, an input signal applied to the receiver. Sampled values of the conditioned input signal are generated and digitized. An error detection module generates an error signal based on digitized values of the input signal and a target value. A decision feedback equalizer generates an adjustment signal based on the digitized values of the input signal and values of the error signal. A summer subtracts the adjustment signal from the conditioned input signal, generating an adjusted input signal. An adaptation module determines a conditional adaptation signal based on a comparison of sampled values of the adjusted input signal and values of the error signal. The adaptation module adjusts a transfer function of at least one filter based on the conditional adaptation signal.

    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: Described embodiments provide a method and system for signal compensation in a SERDES communication system that includes monitoring the quality of a data signal after passing through a transmission channel. The quality of the data signal is monitored with at least one of a BER calculation algorithm and a received eye quality monitoring algorithm. Variations in channel length of the transmission channel are compensated for by i) adjusting a length of transmission line delay of the data signal from the transmission channel, ii) comparing the data signal quality with a threshold for the adjusted data signal; and iii) repeating i) and ii) until the data signal quality meets the threshold.

    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.
