Abstract
A receiver includes: an automatic gain controller (AGC) configured to receive an analog signal; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to receive an output from the AGC and to output a digitized signal, wherein a most significant bit of the digitized signal corresponds to a sliced data, and a least significant bit of the digitized signal corresponds to an error signal; and an adaptation unit configured to control the AGC, the ADC, or both the AGC and the ADC, based at least in part on the digitized signal to achieve a desired data digitization and data slicing.
