Latest Patents
Dirk Pfaff holds a patent for a "Serdes receiver with optimized CDR pulse shaping." This invention provides an optimized pulse shaping clock data recovery system. It includes a slicer that receives a signal and offers an initial set of tentative decisions to a decision feedforward equalizer. The equalizer then produces a fully equalized output signal. The slicer can be integrated as part of the decision feedback equalizer to improve the quality of tentative decisions. Additionally, the clock data recovery system receives a partially equalized output signal, which is optimally shaped for clock sampling at an ideal location by providing an adjustment signal to the analog to digital controller.
