    Abstract: An example clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit includes a phase interpolator, a fractional-N phase locked loop (PLL) configured to supply a clock signal to the phase interpolator, and a phase detector configured to generate a phase detect result signal in response to phase detection of data samples and crossing samples of a received signal, the data samples and the crossing samples being generated based on a data phase and a crossing phase, respectively, or a sampling clock supplied by a phase interpolator. The CDR circuit further includes a digital loop filter configured to generate a phase interpolator code for controlling the phase interpolator, the digital loop filter including a phase path and a frequency path. The CDR circuit further includes a control circuit configured to control the digital loop filter to disconnect the frequency path from the phase path and to connect the frequency path to a control input of the fractional-N PLL.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to adapting a continuous time linear equalization circuit with minimum mean square error baud-rate clock and data recovery circuit to be able to lock to the center or near center of an eye diagram. In an illustrative example, a circuit may include an inter-symbol interference (ISI) detector configured to receive data and error samples, a summing circuit coupled to the output of the ISI detector, a moving average filter configured to receive the output of the summing circuit and generate an average output, a voter configured to generate a vote in response to the average output and a predetermined threshold, and, an accumulator and code generator configured to generate a code signal in response to the generated vote. By introducing the moving average filter and the voter, a quicker way to lock to the center or near center of an eye diagram may be obtained.

    Abstract: A receiver relates generally to channel adaptation. In this receiver, a first signal processing block is coupled to a communications channel. The first signal processing block includes: an AGC block and a CTLE block for receiving a modulated signal for providing an analog signal; an ADC for converting the analog signal to digital samples; and an FFE block for equalizing the digital samples to provide equalized samples. A second signal processing block includes: a DFE block for receiving the equalized sampled for providing re-equalized samples; and a slicer coupled to the DFE block for slicing the re-equalized samples. A receiver adaptation block is coupled to the first signal processing block and the second signal processing block. The receiver adaptation block is configured for providing an AGC adaptation, a CTLE adaptation, and a slicer adaptation to the communications channel.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to using a high learning rate to speed up the training of a receiver and switching from a high learning rate to a low learning rate for fine tuning based on exponentially weighted moving average convergence. In an illustrative example, a selection circuit may switch the high learning rate to the low learning rate based on a comparison of a moving average difference en to a predetermined stability criteria T1 of the receiver. The moving average difference en may include an exponentially weighted moving average of a difference between two consecutive exponentially weighted moving averages of an operation parameter un of the signal communication channel. By using this method, the training time for the receiver may be advantageously reduced.

    Abstract: A clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit includes a phase detector, a digital loop filter, and a lock detector. The phase detector generates a phase detect result signal in response to phase detection of a plurality of samples. The plurality of samples are generated by sampling a received signal based on a sampling clock a sampling clock provided by a phase interpolator. The digital loop filter includes a phase path and a frequency path for providing a phase path correction signal and a frequency path correction signal based on the phase detect result signal respectively. A phase interpolator code generator generates a phase interpolator code for controlling the phase interpolator based on the phase path correction signal and frequency path correction signal. The lock detector generates a lock condition signal based on the frequency path correction signal, the lock condition signal indicating a lock condition of the CDR circuit.
