    Abstract: A receiver includes: equalizer circuitry; clock and data recovery (CDR) circuitry; sampler circuitry; adaptation circuitry; and clock adjustment circuitry. The receiver is configured to: receive data via a channel; perform equalization operations on received data, the equalization operations resulting in equalization results; perform sampling operations responsive to the equalization results, the sampling operations resulting in data samples and error samples; perform adaptation operations responsive to the data samples and the error samples, the adaptation operations resulting in a clock adjustment control signal; and adjust a sampling clock signal relative to a CDR clock signal responsive to the clock adjustment control signal.

    Abstract: A linear retimer includes an equalizer, a clock recovery circuit, a sample and hold (S/H) circuit, and a linear driver. The equalizer receives an input signal and outputs an equalized signal. The clock recovery circuit receives the equalized signal and outputs a clock signal. The S/H circuit receives the equalized signal and the clock signal and outputs a retimed signal. The linear driver receives the retimed signal and outputs a recovered signal. The S/H circuit is configured to preserve a voltage of the equalized signal in the retimed signal. In some examples, the S/H circuit is part of a linear three-tap feedforward equalizer, and the linear driver receives an output of the feedforward equalizer. The linear retimer can be placed between a transmitter and a channel or after the channel.

    Abstract: An N-tap feedforward equalizer (FFE) comprises a set of N FFE taps coupled together in parallel, a filter coupled between the (N−1)th FFE tap and the Nth FFE tap, and a summer coupled to an output of the set of N FFE taps. Each FFE tap includes a unique sample-an-hold (S/H) circuit that generates a unique time-delayed signal and a unique transconductance stage that generates a unique transconductance output based on the unique time-delayed signal. The filter causes the N-tap FFE to have the behavior of greater than N taps. In some examples, the filter is a first order high pass filter that causes coefficients greater than N to have an opposite polarity of the Nth coefficient. In some examples, the filter is a first order low pass filter that causes coefficients greater than N to have the same polarity as the Nth coefficient.
