ADAPTIVE EQUALIZER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

Provided are an adaptive equalizer for adaptively controlling an equalization coefficient until two comparators outputs a same value, after generating a sensitivity difference between signals at a front end of each comparator for performing sampling, and a method of controlling the adaptive equalizer.

主权项

1. An adaptive equalizer comprising:
an equalizing unit configured to equalize an input signal based on an equalization coefficient; a plurality of sampling units configured to, generate a plurality of adjusted signals from the equalized input signal, each of the plurality of sampling circuits having a sensitivity that varies independently, and the plurality of sampling units configured to sample a respective one of the plurality of adjusted signals; and an error detection unit configured to vary the equalization coefficient based on the sampled signals until an error is not present between the sampled signals.
