NON-LINEAR COMPENSATION OF TIMING JITTER

摘要

Systems and methods for compensating transitions in a data stream to accou nt for fitter including laser fitter. Transitions in the data stream are delaye d or advanced depending on the laser fitter and/or whether the previous transition is a rising or falling transition. The compensation of transitions is non-linear such that compensation applied to a rising transition is not necessarily the same as compensation applied to a falling transition. A history of more than one or more bits or transitions o f the data stream can be used to further adjust the compensation of transitions in the data stream. When a transition is detected, the bit following the detected transition is peaked either positively or negatively such that the following transition is accordingly delayed or advanced.
