RECEIVER HAVING A EQUALIZER AND EQUALIZING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A receiver having an equalizer and an equalization method thereof are provided to control equalization intensity by measuring size of eye patterns, and to reset the equalizer according to an error of data, thereby performing equalization without malfunction. An equalizer(100) inputs serial data to equalize the inputted serial data. An eye size measuring circuit(200) measures size of eye patterns of output data of the equalizer. An error detector(500) detects an error of the output data. The equalizer controls equalization intensity according to the size of the eye patterns, and is reset according to the detected error.
