Abstract

An adaptive equalizer system for use in a serial communication link uses timing information generated by a phase detector of a clock and data recovery circuit of the serial communication link and a frequency pattern of the recovered data to determine whether the data received over the serial communication link is over-equalized or under-equalized. The equalizer strength of the adaptive equalizer system is adjusted based on such determination.
