Abstract
A system including a summer, a comparator, a zero-crossing module, and a control module. The summer is configured to (i) receive a data input signal, and (ii) generate an equalized signal in response to the data input signal. The comparator is configured to generate a recovered data signal in response to the equalized signal. The zero-crossing module is configured to generate a zero-crossing signal in response to the equalized signal. The control module is configured to generate eye information in response to i) the recovered data signal and ii) the zero-crossing signal. The eye information includes characteristic data associated with the recovered data signal, and the characteristic data when plotted provides an eye diagram.
