Description

Leading DFF
Technical field
The present invention relates to integrated circuit fields, relate more specifically to a kind of leading DFF.
Background technology
In mobile communication, the finiteness of multipath effect and channel width and the imperfection of the characteristic of channel inevitably produce intersymbol interference when causing transfer of data, become the principal element that influences communication quality; And the balancing technique of channel can be eliminated intersymbol interference and noise, and reduces the error rate.Wherein DFF (DFE) is a kind of very effective and widely used measure that is used for eliminating or reducing the multipath interference.
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of leading DFF of the prior art.As shown in Figure 1, existing leading DFF comprises selector S, d type flip flop D1 and two adjustable threshold samplers; Two adjustable threshold samplers are respectively positive threshold value sampler D2 and negative threshold value sampler D3; The analog signal ADATA of outside input inputs to positive threshold value sampler D2 and negative threshold value sampler D3 respectively, and positive threshold value sampler D2, the clock control end of negative threshold value sampler D3 and d type flip flop D1 is connected with external clock respectively, clk is to positive threshold value sampler D2 for external clock output clock pulse, the clock control end of negative threshold value sampler D3 and d type flip flop D1, and the frequency of clock pulse clk is identical with the analog signal ADATA of outside input, thereby when the rising edge of clock pulse clk arrives, positive threshold value sampler D2 and the external analog signal ADATA of negative threshold value sampler D3 sample, and signal DATA0 and ADTA1 after output is sampled respectively; Positive threshold value sampler D1 is connected with two inputs of selector S respectively with the output of negative threshold value sampler D2, the output of selector S is connected with the input of d type flip flop D3, thereby selector S selects also output signal DATA to signal DATA0 and the ADTA1 of input, and signal DATA is by the stable analog signal Dout of output behind the d type flip flop D3; In addition, the output of d type flip flop D3 is connected with the control end of selector S, thereby the signal Dout that previous judgement obtains is in order to control selector S to the selection of next signal.
From above-mentioned leading DFF shown in Figure 1, before obtaining previous judgement, with positive threshold value sampler D2 and negative threshold value sampler D3 input analog signal ADATA is sampled, it is 1 that positive threshold value sampler D2 just adjudicates on the occasion of output greater than certain at the input analog signal level of sampler, and it is 0 that negative threshold value sampler D3 just adjudicates less than certain negative value output at the input analog signal level of sampler; And the threshold value of positive threshold value sampler D2 and negative threshold value sampler D3 can be regulated, thereby positive threshold value sampler D2 or negative threshold value sampler D3 can be finished importing the sampling of analog signal ADATA.According to the previous judgement that recovers (being the signal of d type flip flop D3 output), selector S will select correct court verdict in DATA0 and ADTA1, abandon the result of another one mistake, and output signal DATA; And by the stable analog signal Dout of d type flip flop D3 output, and the analog signal Dout of output controls the selection of next analog signal again by selector S.
Fig. 2 is the sequential chart of leading first feedback loop of DFF shown in Figure 1.Owing to precompute by leading DFF at previous analog signal, so selector S only need select correct result with previous analog signal and gets final product.As seen from Figure 2, owing to need to utilize the signal Dout that has recovered to select, adjudicate different analog signal DATA0, the DATA1 of two threshold value sampler outputs; Because the frequency of clock pulse clk is identical with the analog signal ADATA of outside input, therefore, Dout must be stabilized to its end value before next rising edge clock arrives, i.e. the total delay of first feedback path must be satisfied formula (1), correct equilibrium result could be chosen.
T mux+T cq<1UI?(1)
Wherein:
T Mux---the delay of MUX;
T Cq---the transmission delay of d type flip flop.
But when carrying out high speed data transfer in communication, (1) formula is difficult to set up; When being 10G such as the frequency of analog signal ADATA of input, UI=100ps postpones about Tmux=75ps, about d type flip flop data setup time Tcq=90ps at selector under the current the fastest main flow technology that can reach.75ps+90ps〉100ps, so said structure will be difficult to select correct equilibrium result.
Therefore, be necessary to provide a kind of improved leading DFF to overcome above-mentioned defective.
