Abstract :
An adaptive cable equalizer for 10 Gb/s broadband data, using a SiGe BiCMOS process, is presented. The circuit consists of a feed-forward equalizer that compensates for a copper cable length between 4 and 15 feet. Adaptation is performed by sensing the transition time of the equalizer output using a circuit based on the source-coupled node of a differential pair.
