Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a data receiving apparatus, and more particularly, to an A / D converting apparatus for converting an analog signal input to a data receiving apparatus into a digital signal.
As the traffic volume explosively increases, the data rate in the communication system is increasing. This increases the operating frequency on the communication circuit and increases the skin effect and dielectric loss. To compensate for this, the size of the analog equalizer is increased, but the stability of the analog equalizer is not better than the stability of the digital equalizer.
In addition, efforts are being made to increase the spectral efficiency within a limited bandwidth through complicated modulation such as pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4), PAM8, and PAM16 because the bandwidth per pin of an integrated circuit interface is limited in a communication system.
In addition, since an A / D converter is required in such a communication system, a receiver based on an ADC-equalizer has recently attracted attention.
On the other hand, the bit error rate (BER) is a final performance index of the communication system and directly affects the accuracy of the system. That is, efficiency is improved by using FFE (Feed Forward Equalizer) and DFE (Decision Forward Equalizer). However, this method has a limitation in that it is an indirect method that directly correlates with BER but can not optimize BER directly.
