Abstract
Methods and systems for performing data correction and phase optimization are disclosed herein. In some implementations, a system for performing data correction comprises: an analog to digital converter (ADC) configured to receive differential data from a continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) and generate a bitstream comprising a plurality of data bits and a corresponding plurality of data sign bits; a decision feedback equalization (DFE) block configured to receive the bitstream from the ADC and provide data to a clock and data recovery (CDR) block; and data correction circuitry. In some implementations, the data correction circuitry is configured to: receive the bitstream from the ADC; determine whether to correct a data sign bit; responsive to determining the data sign bit is to be corrected, flip the data sign bit; and provide the plurality of data sign bits, including the flipped data sign bits, to the DFE.
