Abstract
A sequence detection device includes a feed-forward filter and a sequence detection circuit. The feed-forward filter processes a received signal to generate an equalized signal. The sequence detection circuit performs sequence detection upon the equalized signal to generate and output a symbol sequence. The sequence detection circuit includes a region estimation circuit and a trellis selection circuit. The region estimation circuit categorizes each of samples included in the equalized signal into one of regions. The trellis selection circuit selects one of trellis schemes for branch metric calculation according to region estimation results of two of the samples output from the region estimation circuit.
