Abstract
A predicted parallel branch slicer for use in an adaptive decision feedback equalizer includes Madders commonly receiving a signal to be processed and respectively receiving Mpreset values, and performing respective addition operations to generate Moutput signals; Mslicers in communication with the Madders, receiving and processing the Moutput signals to obtain Msignals of Mlevels, respectively; a multiplexer in communication with the Mslicers, receiving the signals of the Mlevels; and k delay units interconnected with one another in series and being in communication with the multiplexer, and generating k selection signals of different delay time in response to an output of the multiplexer, the selection signals being provided for the multiplexer to select one of the signals of the Mlevels to be outputted.
