Transmitter with fully re-assignable segments for reconfigurable FFE taps
Abstract
Methods and systems of performing feed forward equalization (FFE) on data streams are described. A circuitry may generate staggered data streams from data streams of an input signal. The staggered data streams may include data in staggered unit intervals. The circuitry may include a plurality of segments. A segment may define a specific unit interval to carve the staggered data streams into one unit interval pulses positioned at the specific unit interval. The specific unit interval to carve the staggered data streams may indicate an assignment of the segment as one of a FFE pre tap, a FFE main tap, and a FFE post tap. The plurality of segments may be assigned to different FFE taps based on different clock signal selection defining different unit intervals to perform the carving. The plurality of segments may output respective one unit interval pulses to reproduce the input signal.
