In one embodiment, a receiver comprises an automatic gain controller (AGC), an equalizer, a controller, and a register interface. The AGC makes gain adjustments to compensate for changes in the average amplitude of a received signal. The equalizer has a coefficient updater that calculates coefficients and a finite impulse response (FIR) filter that applies the coefficients to the received signal to generate an equalized signal. During gain adjustments by the AGC, the register interface provides a weight freeze signal to the coefficient updater, which subsequently freezes the updating of the coefficients for a freeze duration period. Then, register interface provides a scaling factor, generated by the controller based on the size of the gain adjustment, to the coefficient updater. At the end of the freeze period, coefficient updater applies the scaling factor to the coefficients and unfreezes the coefficient updating. |
