Abstract :
A mixed-signal decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) that uses a look-ahead architecture is described. This look-ahead DFE doubles the data rate using parallelism with less than a doubling of the circuitry. Since much of the signal processing is carried out in the analog domain, nonidealities associated with the analog signal processing are considered
