Abstract: Aspects of the description provide for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operable to convert an analog input signal to an output signal at an output of the ADC. In some examples, the ADC includes multiple sub-ADCs coupled in parallel, each of the multiple sub-ADCs coupled to the output of the ADC and operable to receive the analog input signal. The ADC is configured to operate the sub-ADCs in a consecutive operation loop including a transition phase in which the ADC operates each of the sub-ADCs sequentially for a first number of sequences, an estimation phase in which the ADC operates each of the sub-ADCs sequentially for a second number of sequences following the first number of sequences, and a randomization phase in which the ADC operates subsets of the sub-ADCs for a third number of sequences following the second number of sequences.

Abstract: A digital signal processing circuit comprises a first equalizer circuit and a second equalizer circuit. An output of the second equalizer is used as feedback to generate an equalized signal. The output of the second equalizer circuit is based on a plurality of postcursor values and a plurality of precursor values, where the precursor values are generated based on an output of the first DFE circuit, and the postcursor values are generated independently of the output of the first DFE.

Abstract: Methods and systems for continuous gain control in a feedback transimpedance amplifier (TIA) may include: in a TIA including a gain stage, a feedback resistance for the gain stage, a current sense resistor, and a feedback current control circuit: receiving an input current at an input of the gain stage: directing a current through the current sense resistor to the feedback current control circuit, and generating an output voltage proportional to the input current and a gain of the TIA. The gain may be configured by providing a proportion (?) of the current through the feedback current control circuit to the input of the gain stage. The proportion ? of the current from the feedback current control circuit to the input of the gain stage may be configured by applying a differential voltage to control terminals of a transistor pair in the feedback current control circuit.
