    Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure provide for a method. In at least one examples, the method includes applying first equalization to a received data signal to generate an equalizer signal and comparing the equalized signal to each of a plurality of reference voltages for a predetermined period of time per respective reference voltage to generate a comparison result. The method further includes determining a plurality of counts with each count of the plurality of counts uniquely corresponding to a number of rising edges in the comparison result for each of the plurality of reference voltages. The method further includes comparing at least one of the plurality of counts to at least another of the plurality of counts to determine a relationship among the plurality of counts and applying second equalization to the received data signal based on the determined relationship among the plurality of counts.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for configuring a serial communication hub are disclosed herein. A serial communication hub includes an upstream port, a plurality of downstream ports, and a port controller. The port controller is configured to: arrange each of a first of the downstream ports and a second of the downstream ports to individually operate as a first type of serial communication interface; and to arrange the first of the downstream ports and the second of the downstream ports to operate in combination as a second type of serial communication interface.

    Abstract: A redriver system adapted for coupling to a first device and to a second device includes first and second transmitter drivers and a snoop circuit. The first transmitter driver has a first enable input. The second transmitter driver has a second enable input. The snoop circuit is coupled to the first and second enable inputs. The snoop circuit is configured to determine whether the first device and the second device are to operate according to a first protocol. Responsive to the snoop circuit determining that the first and second devices are to operate according to the first protocol, the snoop circuit enables the first transmitter driver and disables the second transmitter driver. Responsive to the snoop circuit determining that the first and second devices are not to operate according to the first protocol, the snoop circuit disables the first transmitter driver and enables the second transmitter driver.

    Abstract: A system for selecting an equalizer setting of an equalizer to equalize signals received via a communications link. Starting with a first (e.g., minimum) equalizer setting and a threshold voltage near the mid-eye voltage of the equalized output signal, the system estimates the amplitude of the inner eye of the equalized output signal by comparing the equalized output signal to a series of threshold voltages. If the amplitude of the equalized output signal is less than ideal, the system dynamically increases the equalizer setting. The system quickly converges on the equalizer setting for the communication link because, rather than comparing the output signal at every voltage offset using every equalizer setting, the system only evaluates the equalizer settings necessary to select the equalizer setting for the communications link and uses only the voltage offsets necessary to evaluate each equalizer setting.
