Abstract:
A method relates generally to data reception for any of a plurality of data rates. In such a method, information and phases of a clock signal are obtained by a decision feedback equalizer. The information is equalized using the phases of the clock signal with the decision feedback equalizer to provide equalized sample streams. The equalized sample streams and the phases of the clock signal are provided to a selection circuit block. A first and a second phase of the phases are swapped, along with swapping a first and a second equalized sample stream corresponding to the first phase and the second phase, responsive to a data rate of the plurality of data rates.
Abstract:
A circuit for generating a divided clock signal with a configurable phase offset comprises a first latch circuit adapted to receive a clock signal to be divided; a second latch coupled to an output of the first latch circuit and generating a divided output clock signal; and an initialization circuit coupled to the first latch circuit and the second latch circuit, the initialization circuit coupled to receive an initialization signal. The initialization signal determines a phase offset between the divided output clock signal and the clock signal to be divided. A method of generating a divided clock signal is also described.
