    Abstract: A two-stage decision feedback equalizer. The decision feedback equalizer is configured to receive serial data, at an analog input, at a first data rate. The two-stage decision feedback equalizer has an analog input and four digital outputs, and includes a first stage and a second stage. The first stage is connected to the analog input, and includes a half-rate predictive decision feedback equalizer consisting of current mode logic circuits. The second stage is connected to the first stage, and consists of complementary metal oxide semiconductor circuits.

    Abstract: A method of calibrating coefficients of a calibrated decision feedback equalizer (DFE) across a process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) range, the calibrated DFE comprising a plurality of DFE taps for reducing distortions of an input signal, and a sampler for sampling the input signal, the method including applying a preset voltage to an input of the calibrated DFE, setting a DFE tap of the plurality of DFE taps to a maximum value, generating a source reference, via a source reference calibrator, to apply to the DFE tap, changing the source reference to a first level that causes an output of the sampler to transition from a first state to a second state, determining the first level as a calibrated source reference, and applying the calibrated source reference to the DFE tap during normal operation of the calibrated DFE.

    Abstract: A system for reduced-rate predictive DFE. In one embodiment a plurality of sampler-multiplexer blocks, each including two samplers and a multiplexer-latch, controlled by a multi-phase clock, sample the received analog signal one at a time, and the output of each multiplexer-latch, which may represent the value of the last received bit, is used to control the select input of another multiplexer-latch, so that the other multiplexer-latch selects the appropriate one of two samplers, each applying a different correction to the received analog signal before sampling. Each multiplexer-latch is a clocked element that tracks the data input when the signal at its clock input has a first logic level and retains its output state when its clock input has another (i.e., a second) logic level.

    Abstract: A circuit for duty cycle detection and correction, for a serial data transmitter. The circuit includes a pattern generator having a pattern data output configured to be selectively connected to the data input of the serial data transmitter, and a duty cycle detection circuit, connected to the output of the serial data transmitter.
