Abstract:
1. A computerized system to simulate a non-linear Decision Feedback Equalizer, the computerized system comprising: a user interface; an output port; and a controller coupled to the user interface and to the output port, the controller being configured to (i) receive electronic design automation commands from a user through the user interface, (ii) generate, as an electronic model of the non-linear Decision Feedback Equalizer, an electronic representation of a linear filter in response to the electronic design automation commands, and (iii) integrate the electronic representation of the linear filter into an electronic circuit design having other electronic representations of other electronic circuits, the electronic circuit design being externally accessible through the output port; wherein the controller, when generating, as the electronic model of the non-linear Decision Feedback Equalizer, the electronic representation of the linear filter in response to the electronic design automation commands, is constructed and arranged to: wherein the controller, when integrating the electronic representation of the linear filter into the electronic circuit design, is configured to: wherein the controller, when providing the electronic model of the serializer/de-serializer device, is configured to:
