Abstract
The present invention is directed to joint decision feedback equalizer (DFE) and Trellis decoder adaptable to an Ethernet transceiver. A Trellis coded modulation (TCM) decoder includes a one-dimensional branch metric unit (1D-BMU) configured to calculate 1D branch metrics; a four-dimensional branch metric unit (4D-BMU) configured to combine the 1D branch metrics to generate 4D branch metrics; an add-compare-select unit (ACSU) configured to perform add, compare and select (ACS) operations on the 4D branch metrics for each state to obtain path metrics; and a survivor memory unit (SMU) configured to store and keep track of symbols. A decision feedback unit (DFU) is coupled to receive the symbols from the SMU in order to estimate inter-symbol interference (ISI) quantity, which is then fed back to the 1D-BMU.
