Abstract
A device compensates for distortions of a serial data signal introduced by a communication channel in a serial communication system. The device includes main path, first and second delay paths, first and second pulse generators, and combiner. The first and second delay paths delay a tapped-off portion of the serial data signal by first and second delay amounts, respectively, where the first delay amount is less than a main path delay amount and the second delay amount greater the main path delay amount. The first and second pulse generators generate first and second compensation pulses in response to the serial data signal delayed by the first and second delay amounts, respectively. The combiner combines the first and second compensation pulses with the main path delayed serial data signal, where the first and second compensation pulses compensate for magnitude loss and nonlinear phase of the main path delayed serial data signal.
