Abstract
A signal receiver and a slicer are capable of mitigating the static mismatch error of a far-end digital-to-analog converter. The slicer includes an adjustable slicing circuit and an error signal generating circuit. The adjustable slicing circuit determines which of (N+1) signal levels is corresponding to an input signal according to N slicer levels and thereby outputs an output signal, wherein the input signal is originated from the far-end digital-to-analog converter. The adjustable slicing circuit further adjusts at least some of the (N+1) signal levels according to an error signal and adjusts at least some of the N slicer levels, wherein the N is an integer greater than two. The error signal generating circuit is coupled to the adjustable slicing circuit and generates the error signal according to the input and output signals.
