Low-complexity adaptive equalization for high-speed chip-to-chip communication paths by zero-forcing of jitter components
Abstract
In this letter, we show how a prefilter can be automatically adapted to open the data eye in a nonreturn to zero transmission system using only two binary samples per bit. Although the equalizer primarily aims to minimize timing jitter with a zero-forcing criterion, this equalization method also results in nearly optimum vertical eye opening, thereby causing very little overhead in complexity and power consumption. The target application is low-power high-speed serial links to transfer data between chips over a printed circuit board. © 2006 IEEE.
