  • Influence clock data recovery settling point by applying decision feedback equalization to a crossing sample
    Patent number: 9787509
    Abstract: An apparatus including a receiver coupled to receive an input signal from a communication link and operable to employ decision feedback equalization to the input signal of the communication link and generate an edge sample signal. The apparatus also includes a timing recovery module coupled to the receiver and operable to receive the edge sample signal and use the edge sample signal to generate a data sampling phase signal, wherein the edge sample signal influences a settling point of the data sampling phase signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 5, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2017
    Assignee: Nvidia Corporation
    Inventors: Lizhi Zhong, Vishnu Balan, Arif Al Amin, Sanjeev Maheshwari
