Abstract: A decision feedback equalization slicer for ultra-high-speed backplane Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) with improved latch sensitivity. A first regeneration stage can be configured in association with a second regeneration stage to compensate for channel impairment such as inter-symbol interference due to channel loss, reflections due to impedance mismatch, and cross-talk interference from neighboring electrical channels.
