Abstract
Dynamically calibrating an offset of a receiver with a DFE while performing data transport operations, the DFE comprising a plurality of independent data transport banks, at least one data transport bank operating a data transport mode and at least one data transport bank operating in a calibration mode, including: iteratively, while carrying out data transport operations: utilizing the data transport bank operating in the data transport mode to perform data transport operations; calibrating the data transport bank operating in the calibration mode; and upon completing calibration of the data transport bank operating in the calibration mode, switching the mode of each data transport bank.
