Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a partial equalization DFE (decision feedback equalization) training method, for use with a single-ended receiver. Embodiments may include obtaining LE (lower-eye) minimum and maximum voltages for a current bit based on a preceding bit. Embodiments may also include, using the values obtained for the LE minimum and maximum voltages to compute values for an optimal LE reference voltage and an LE DFE tap-coefficient, obtaining UE (upper-eye) minimum and maximum voltages for the current bit based on the preceding bit, and using the values obtained for the UE minimum and maximum voltages to compute values for an optimal UE reference voltage and a UE DFE tap-coefficient. Embodiments may also include, using the values obtained for the LE minimum and maximum voltages, the UE minimum and maximum voltages, and the optimal LE and UE reference voltages to compute final values for the LE and UE DFE tap-coefficients.
