ADAPTIVE CONTINUOUS-TIME EQUALIZER FOR CORRECTING THE FIRST POST-CURSOR ISI

摘要

A receiver includes a continuous-time equalizer (120), a decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) (125), data and error sampling logic (130), and an adaptation engine (135). The receiver corrects for inter- symbol interference (ISI) associated with the most recent data symbol (first post cursor ISI) by establishing appropriate equalization settings for the continuous-time equalizer based upon a measure of the first-post-cursor ISI.
