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).

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.

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.

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.

Methods and apparatus are provided for digital compensation of clock timing errors in a VCDL. Clock timing errors in a clock and data recovery system having a voltage controlled delay loop comprised of a plurality of delay elements are compensated for by evaluating a phase of data recovered from an input signal; generating one or more uncompensated clock phase adjustment values based on the phase evaluation; generating one or more compensation terms that compensate for a non-ideal delay for one or more of the delay elements; and determining an adjustment to one or more clock phases produced by the voltage controlled delay loop based on the uncompensated clock phase adjustment values and the one or more compensation terms. The one or more compensation terms can be subtracted from the uncompensated clock phase adjustment values to generate the adjustment to the one or more clock phases.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for determining receiver filter coefficients for a plurality of phases. One or more coefficients for a receiver filter are determined by determining a first coefficient for a first phase of a data eye; and determining a second coefficient for a second phase of the data eye. The receiver filter may be, for example, a decision-feedback equalizer. The first and second coefficients may be determined by performing an LMS adaptation of decision-feedback equalization coefficients. In another embodiment, the first and second coefficients may be determined by obtaining eye opening metrics from a data eye monitor corresponding to each of the respective first phase and the second phase; and determining the respective first and second coefficients based on the eye opening metrics. The first and second phases can correspond to odd and even phases.
