Abstract: A system for selecting an equalizer setting of an equalizer to equalize signals received via a communications link. Starting with a first (e.g., minimum) equalizer setting and a threshold voltage near the mid-eye voltage of the equalized output signal, the system estimates the amplitude of the inner eye of the equalized output signal by comparing the equalized output signal to a series of threshold voltages. If the amplitude of the equalized output signal is less than ideal, the system dynamically increases the equalizer setting. The system quickly converges on the equalizer setting for the communication link because, rather than comparing the output signal at every voltage offset using every equalizer setting, the system only evaluates the equalizer settings necessary to select the equalizer setting for the communications link and uses only the voltage offsets necessary to evaluate each equalizer setting.

Abstract: Disclosed is receiver for a noise limited system. A front-end circuit amplifies and band-limits an incoming signal. The amplification increases the signal swing but introduces both thermal and flicker noise. A low-pass band limitation reduces the thermal noise component present at frequencies above what is necessary for correctly receiving the transmitted symbols. This band limited signal is provided to the integrator circuit. The output of the integrator is equalized to reduce the effects of inter-symbol interference and then sampled. The samples are used to apply low frequency equalization (i.e., in response to long and/or unbalanced strings of symbols) to mitigate the effects of DC wander caused by mismatches between the number of symbols of each kind being received.

After setting the reference voltage, the first equalizer coefficient may then be adjusted together with learning a second equalizer coefficient for the second equalizer using a similar technique.
