Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to an ADC-based digital receiver including a feedforward equalizer (FFE) that has m precursor taps and n postcursor taps to equalize the precursor portion, and to adapt postcursor intersymbol interference (ISI) through a predetermined equalization coefficient selected to counteract the noise boosting effect associated with the precursor equalization. In an illustrative example, the receiver may dynamically balance noise and ISI through adaptively determining a coefficient hp1 of a first postcursor tap of a first FFE and a coefficient h1 of a first postcursor tap of a second equalizer adapted to substantially reduce or eliminate additional ISI introduced by the first FFE. The first FFE may optimize ISI removal and noise reduction, for example. One of the coefficients h1 and hp1 may be predetermined, and then the other coefficient may be iteratively adapted to trade off precursor ISI and postcursor ISI to minimize BER.
