Abstract :
This paper presents an analysis of edge-based decision-feedback equalization (DFE) and compares its performance to conventional data-based DFE in high-speed serial links. We use the link performance analysis framework in (Stojanovic, 2006) to evaluate these two equalization schemes. Simulation results across 13 backplane channels of various length and configuration show that data-based DFE (D-DFE) always performs better than edge-based DFE (E-DFE)
