    Abstract: In a method for channel adaptation, an analog input signal is received with a bimodal receiver via a communications channel. The analog input signal is converted to a digital input signal with an analog-to-digital converter of a digital receiver of the bimodal receiver. Channel coefficients are detected for the digital input signal associated with the communications channel. The channel coefficients indicate a number of post-cursor taps of the bimodal receiver to be used to provide an equalized digital output signal from the digital input signal. It is determined whether the number of post-cursor taps or a value associated therewith is equal to or less than a threshold number. A switch from the receiving of the analog input signal by the digital receiver to an analog receiver of the bimodal receiver is made to provide the equalized digital output signal for the analog input signal.

    Abstract: In an example, an apparatus for detecting signal loss on a serial communication channel coupled to a receiver includes an input, a detector, and an output circuit. The input is configured to receive decisions generated by sampling the serial communication channel using multiplexed decision paths in a decision feedback equalizer (DFE). The detector is coupled to the input and configured to monitor the decisions for at least one pattern generated by the multiplexed decision paths in response to absence of a serial data signal on the serial communication channel. The output circuit is coupled to the detector and configured to assert loss-of-signal in response detection of the at least one pattern by the detector.

    Abstract: An example method of performing an eye-scan in a receiver includes: generating digital samples from an analog signal input to the receiver based on a sampling clock, the sampling clock phase-shifted with respect to a reference clock based on a phase interpolator (PI) code; equalizing the digital samples based on first equalization parameters of a plurality of equalization parameters of the receiver; adapting the plurality of equalization parameters and performing clock recovery based on the digital samples to generate the PI code; and performing a plurality of cycles of locking the plurality of equalization parameters, suspending phase detection in the clock recovery, offsetting the PI code, collecting an output of the receiver, resuming the phase detection in the clock recovery, and unlocking the equalization parameters to perform the eye scan.

    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: In an example, a clock data recovery (CDR) circuit for a receiver includes a timing error detector circuit, a loop filter, and a phase interpolator. The timing error detector circuit is coupled to receive, at a baud-rate, data samples and error samples for symbols received by the receiver. The timing error detector circuit is operable to generate both a timing error value and an estimated waveform value per symbol based on the data samples and the error samples. The loop filter is coupled to the timing error detector to receive timing error values. The phase interpolator is coupled to the loop filter to receive filtered timing error values, the phase interpolator operable to generate a control signal to adjust a sampling phase used to generate the data samples and the error samples.
