Abstract

See full text

A tap coefficient control circuit and a method for controlling a tap coefficient for a decision feedback equalizer are disclosed. The method includes adjusting a correction voltage applied to the tap coefficient based on a first tap quantization and detecting a decision feedback equalizer tap convergence. After the decision feedback equalizer tap convergence is detected, the method adjusts the correction voltage applied to the tap coefficient based on a second tap quantization, wherein the second tap quantization is different from the first tap quantization.
