37.7 A 12.8Gb/s Parallel Receiver with a One-Way Self-Training Scheme for Equalizing ISI and Reflections in Multi-Drop Memory Interfaces
Abstract
This paper presents a$12.8 \text{Gb} / \mathrm{s} /$pin receiver with a one-way self-training scheme for highly-reflective multi-drop memory interfaces. DFE tap coefficients are directly derived from a single-pulse response, eliminating controller interaction during training. Implemented in 40 nm CMOS, the receiver reopens a closed eye in a 4-drop channel at BER$
