Abstract
A receiver for high speed communications. The receiver includes an analog to digital converter to convert an analog input signal into at least one digital input signal at timings controlled by a sampling clock. A finite impulse response filter generates at least one filtered input signal based on the digital input signal. A data decision circuit recovers data based on the filtered input signal. The filtered input signal and the recovered data can be provided to a feedback loop to determine a timing error of the sampling clock, which is then used to generate the sampling clock.
