Abstract: Methods and systems of adaptive equalization to compensate channel loss are disclosed. A method includes detecting a peak amplitude of an equalizer output signal and selecting a set of reference voltage levels from M sets based on the peak amplitude of the equalizer output signal, each of the M sets having N reference voltage levels. The method includes continuing to increase an equalization level in predetermined steps to a next higher equalization level if the applied equalization level does not correspond to the over-equalization level and evaluating the distribution of the resulting hit counts for each increase to the next higher equalization level until the applied equalization level corresponds to the over-equalization level. The method includes decreasing to the previously applied lower equalization level if the applied equalization level corresponds to the over-equalization level.

Abstract: A circuit includes a sensor configured to receive an input signal and to provide a sensor output signal in response to the received input signal. A plurality of mirror circuits are configured to receive the sensor output signal from the sensor and to generate mirror circuit output signals. The plurality of mirror circuits includes a first mirror circuit and at least a second mirror circuit. The first mirror circuit increases its respective mirror circuit output signal until its saturation value is reached. The second mirror circuit increases its respective mirror output signal if the sensor output signal is above a threshold value and until its saturation value is reached.

Abstract: A driver includes first and second resistors coupled to a supply voltage and coupled to pairs of main transistors at positive and negative output nodes. The first and second pairs of main transistors provide emphasis and de-emphasis on the positive and negative output nodes. The driver also includes a delay inverter, a pull up booster and a pull down booster. The delay inverter delays and inverts each of a pair of differential input signals to provide delayed and inverted differential signals. The pull up booster provides a bypass current path that bypasses the first and second resistors but includes at least some of the first and second pairs of main transistors. The pull down booster provides an additional current path from the supply voltage through the first or second resistor to ground.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for a circuit comprising a transmitter. In at least some examples, the transmitter is configured to receive an input signal and a loss of signal indication signal. The transmitter is further configured to dynamically modify processing of the input signal based on the loss of signal indication signal. The transmitter modifies processing of the input signal based on the loss of signal indication signal by processing the input signal via a limiting driver signal path to generate an output signal when the loss of signal indication signal has a first value and processing the input signal via a linear driver signal path to generate the output signal when the loss of signal indication signal has a second value.

Abstract: A jitter compensation circuit operates in a first conduction state responsive to a high-to low transition of data and a low-to-high transition of data. The circuit operates in a second conduction state when there is no transition of data. The circuit compensates charge to a voltage supply in the first conduction state, thereby reducing voltage drop caused by transition of data.
