Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for direct sequence detection can receive an input signal over a communication channel. Next, the input signal can be sampled based on a clock signal to obtain a sampled voltage. A set of reference voltages can be generated based on a main cursor, a set of pre-cursors, and a set of post-cursors associated with the communication channel. Each generated reference voltage in the set of reference voltages can correspond to a particular sequence of symbols. A sequence corresponding to the sampled voltage can be selected based on comparing the sampled voltage with the set of reference voltages.

Claim (Index 25):
A receiver in a communication system, the receiver comprising:\n a plurality of comparators, wherein each comparator has a respective reference voltage that is adjustable, wherein each comparator outputs a result signal based on comparing a received input from a communication channel with the comparator's reference voltage, wherein reference voltages for the plurality of comparators are computed based on a main cursor and at least one pre-cursor associated with the communication channel, and wherein each generated reference voltage corresponds to a particular sequence of symbols; and a sequence-selection circuit to select a sequence of symbols based on result signals outputted by the plurality of comparators.
