  • Publication number: 20230140420
    Abstract: A signaling system is described. The signaling system comprises a transmit device, a receive device including a partial response receive circuit, and a signaling path coupling the transmit device and the receive device. The receive device observes an equalized signal from the signaling path, and includes circuitry to use feedback from the most recent previously resolved symbol to sample a currently incoming symbol. The transmit device equalizes transmit data to transmit the equalized signal, by applying weighting based on one or more data values not associated with the most recent previously resolved symbol value.

  • Patent number: 7715509
    Abstract: A receive circuit for receiving a signal transmitted via an electric signal conductor. A first sampling circuit generates a first sample value that indicates whether the signal exceeds a first threshold level, and a second sampling circuit generates a second sample value that indicates whether the signal exceeds a second threshold level. A first select circuit receives the first and second sample values from the first and second sampling circuits and selects, according to a previously generated sample value, either the first sample value or the second sample value to be output as a selected sample value.

  • Patent number: 7706480
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device having a receive circuit is disclosed. The receive circuit generates first and second sets of samples of incoming symbols during first and second time intervals, respectively. A select circuit selects, based at least in part on the first set of samples, at least one sample from the second set to be output as a received data value. The integrated circuit device further includes a transmit circuit to generate an output symbol during a third time interval. The output symbol has an amplitude based, at least in part, on a transmit data value for which an output symbol was generated during a time interval prior to the third time interval.
