Abstract:
1. A receiver to sample an input signal, the receiver comprising: first sampler circuits to sample the input signal with reference to first thresholds to produce first sample streams; a first multiplexer to select between the first sample streams to produce a first selected-samples stream; a first storage circuit to store first selected samples from the first selected-sample stream as stored first selected samples; second sampler circuits to sample the input signal with reference to second thresholds to produce second sample streams; a second multiplexer to select between the second sample streams to produce a second selected-samples stream; a second storage circuit to store second selected samples from the second selected-sample stream as stored second selected samples; an asynchronous first select path from the first multiplexer to the second multiplexer, the first selected-samples stream to directly control the selection between the second sample streams; and a synchronous second select path from the second multiplexer to the first multiplexer via the second storage circuit, the stored second selected samples to control the selection between the first sample streams.
