Abstract:

Disclosed herein are related to a system and a method for high speed communication. In one aspect, the system includes a set of slicers configured to generate a slicer output signal digitally indicating a level of an input signal received by the set of slicers. The system includes a speculative tap coupled to the set of slicers, where the speculative tap is configured to select bits of the slicer output signal based on selected bits of a prior slicer output signal. The system includes a decoder coupled to the speculative tap, where the decoder is configured to decode the selected bits of the slicer output signal in a first digital representation into a second digital representation. The system includes a feedback generator coupled to the decoder, where the feedback generator is configured to generate a feedback signal according to the decoded bits of the slicer output signal.
