Abstract
A decision feedback equalizer circuit employing a current mode finite impulse response (FIR) filter. A decision feedback equalizer circuit comprises an attenuator block for scaling a received voltage signal, a first transconductor (voltage-to-current converter) for converting the received voltage signal to a current signal, a current mode finite impulse response (FIR) filter for adding or subtracting current increments from the current signal and generating an equalized current signal, a second transconductor (current-to-voltage converter) for converting the equalized current signal into an equalized voltage signal, a positive slicer block for determining when the equalized voltage signal achieves a positive threshold level, a negative slicer block for determining when the equalized voltage signal achieves a negative threshold level, and a plurality of delay lines coupled respectively to the slicer blocks and to the current mode FIR filter for providing tap enable signals to the current mode FIR filter in response to signals received from the slicers. The decision feedback equalizer circuit may further comprise a baseline wander correction block for providing a correction current to the current mode FIR filter to compensate for baseline wander in the input voltage signal, and an adaptation block for providing compensation signals to the current mode FIR filter to insure that the equalized voltage signal conforms to a predetermined format.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
