SYMBOL AND TIMING RECOVERY APPARATUS AND RELATED METHODS

Abstract:

An example apparatus includes: a feed forward equalizer (FFE) with a FFE output, adder circuitry with a first adder input, a second adder input, and a first adder output, the first adder input coupled to the FFE output, a multiplexer (MUX) with a first MUX input, a second MUX input, and a MUX output, the first MUX input coupled to the first adder output, the second MUX input coupled to the FFE output, a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) with a DFE output coupled to the second adder input, and a timing error detector (TED) with a first TED input coupled to the MUX output.
