Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An integrated circuit (IC), comprising:
a first circuit to generate a set of symbol sequences based on a first set of outputs, wherein the first set of outputs is generated by a first set of comparators based on an input signal and a first set of reference voltages, and wherein each symbol sequence in the set of symbol sequences includes at least one future symbol;
a second circuit to generate a set of probabilities based on a second set of outputs, wherein the second set of outputs is generated by a second set of comparators based on the input signal and a second set of reference voltages, wherein the second set of reference voltages are generated based on the first set of outputs and the first set of reference voltages; and
a third circuit to select a symbol sequence from the set of symbol sequences based on the set of probabilities.
