Abstract
An apparatus includes a decision feedback equalizer configured to receive a parallel signal generated based on a first clock. The decision feedback equalizer includes a first equalization block configured to receive a first symbol of a first set of parallel symbols provided by the parallel signal during a first clock cycle of the first clock. A decision feedback equalization is performed by the first equalization block to the first symbol to provide a first decision to a second equalization block. The second equalization block is configured to receive a second symbol of the first set of parallel symbols and perform a decision feedback equalization to the second symbol using the first decision received from the first equalization block to provide a second decision during the first clock cycle.
