Abstract
An integrated circuit may include receiver circuitry that receives data from an external device. Such receiver circuitry may include, among other things, equalization circuitry that may reconstruct the received data before transmitting the received data to other parts of the integrated circuit. The receiver circuitry may include two different equalization circuits. A first equalization circuit may perform equalization on the received data to generate a first equalized output while a second equalization circuit may generate a second equalized output. The receiver circuitry may further include an amplifier circuit that selectively amplifies either the first or second equalized output from the respective first and second equalization circuits based on the data rate of the received data.
