Abstract

See full text

A method of adjusting a post-cursor tap weight in a transmitter FIR filter in a high-speed digital data transmission system. A receiver, over a forward channel, receives a signal from the transmitter and equalizes the received signal using an adaptive analog equalizer coupled to the forward channel and a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) coupled to the analog equalizer. A gain coefficient used to adjust the peaking by the analog equalizer is adapted using an error signal generated by the DFE. The post-cursor tap weight of the transmitter filter is adjusted up or down based on a comparison of the gain coefficient to a set. of limits. The post-cursor tap weight is transmitted to the transmitter over a reverse channel and then equalizers in the receiver readapt. Alternatively, eye opening data and a DFE tap coefficient are used to determine whether the post-cursor tap weight is adjusted up or down.
