Abstract
Disclosed are apparatus and methods for adaptive receiver delay equalization. One embodiment relates to a method for adaptive receiver delay equalization. Filtered positive and negative polarity signals are generated by a first variable-delay filter and a second variable-delay filter, respectively. A delay difference is determined between the filtered positive and negative polarity signals, and a skew-indication signal is generated based on the delay difference. A delay control signal is generated based on the skew-indication signal, and the delay control signal is sent to at least one of the first and second variable-delay filters. Other embodiments and features are also disclosed.
