Abstract
An example method for controlling a continuous time linear equalizer includes: developing a voltage histogram of a signal present at an output of a continuous time linear equalizer; developing a quality factor for the voltage histogram; comparing the quality factor with a prior quality factor; decreasing an equalization of the continuous time linear equalizer if the quality factor is less than the prior quality factor and increasing the equalization of the continuous time linear equalizer if the quality factor is greater than the prior quality factor.
