Abstract

See full text

A circuit and method for adaptively controlling an equalizer circuit to reduce intersymbol interference at low frequencies relative to a transmit frequency of an input signal from a transmitter. The input signal is converted into a data signal by a receiver. At least one delayed data signal is formed by delaying the data signal by at least one unit interval (UI) beyond a length of a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) in the receiver. An error signal is formed by comparing the input signal to a threshold value. An error signal sample is correlated with at least one delayed data signal sample to determine whether to adjust a control coefficient of the equalizer. Thus the equalizer is controlled as if the DFE had at least one additional tap.
