  • Patent number: 11463283
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a split-path equalizer and a clock recovery circuit. More particularly, clock recovery operation is enhanced, particularly at high-signaling rates, by separately equalizing each of a data path and an edge path. In specific embodiments, the data path is equalized in a manner that maximizes signal-to-noise ratio and the edge path is equalized in a manner that emphasizes symmetric edge response for a single unit interval and zero edge response for other unit intervals (e.g., irrespective of peak voltage margin). Such equalization tightens edge grouping and thus enhances clock recovery, while at the same time optimizing data-path sampling. Techniques are also disclosed for addressing split-path equalization-induced skew.
