    摘要: The present invention relates to a continuous time linear equalizer comprising a first signal path comprising a high pass filter and a first controllable transconductance unit and a second signal path comprising a second controllable transconductance unit. The continuous time linear equalizer comprises a summation node configured to receive complementary current summation signals of the first transconductance unit and the second transconductance unit. The high pass filter comprises a first port configured to receive an input signal, a second port coupled to a control port of the first transconductance unit and a third port coupled to the summation node. The invention is notably also directed to a corresponding method and a corresponding design structure.

    摘要: A system and method for a high-speed transmitter comprising a precoder configured to receive a sequence of input symbols and to generate for each received symbol a respective recoded symbol is disclosed. The transmitter includes a recoding unit configured for recoding each current received PAM-M based on the recoded symbol immediately preceding the current recoded symbol at the recoding unit, a shift unit configured for determining a shift value for each current received symbol from the recoding unit based on the symbol received from the recoding unit and immediately preceding the current symbol at the shift unit; and Feed-Forward Equalizer unit for applying the shift values to the respective symbols received from the recoding unit to generate a corresponding sequence of output symbols to be transmitted in an output stream.

    摘要: Octagonal phase rotator apparatus is provided for producing an output signal that is phase dependent on a digital control code. The apparatus includes an I-mixer, a Q-mixer, and first and second IQ-mixers. The I-mixer is responsive to I-control bits of the digital control code. The Q-mixer is responsive to Q-control bits of the digital control code. The first and second IQ-mixers are respectively responsive to one or more IQ1-control bits and one or more IQ2-control bits of the digital control code. The I-mixer comprises an I-DAC for steering current between a positive phase IP and a negative phase IN of an in-phase (I) signal wherein the one or more I-control bits control switching of a first current unit between IP and IN, and a set of amplifiers for weighting the phases IP and IN, in dependence on current steered to each phase by the I-DAC, to produce a weighted I-signal.
