A method to implement hybrid signal processing includes steps for receiving an analog signal at a receiver frontend, sampling the received analog signal and storing the analog sampled signals using a plurality of sampling circuitries inside the receiver frontend. Then, processing the plurality of analog sampled signals using interleaved feed-forward equalizers (FFEs) to provide FFE interleaved sampled signal values corresponding to each of the sampling circuitries. Then, processing the analog sampled signals at an interleaved Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) to obtain DFE interleaved sampled signal values, summing each of the FFE interleaved sampled signal values with output from one of the DFE interleaved sampled signal values to provide equalizer output signal values, and digitizing the equalizer output signal values to provide digital data bits corresponding to each of the equalizer output signal values. Implementations of the method as a hybrid communication system, system-on-a-chip, and computer readable memory are also disclosed.
