Abstract

An adaptive (FFE) filter 24 adaptively filters a signal and updates a plurality of coefficients stored on capacitors 69 to minimize the error between the filter output at 72 and a set of notional reference values supplied by a reference generator 74. The stored values of one or more coefficients are monitored and if the monitored coefficient or coefficients pass respective thresholds or leave respective ranges, indicating the onset of maladaption a default set of coefficients is forced.
