/Selection Summing Latch Circuit For A Decision Feedback Equalizer
Abstract

A selection summing latch circuit for a decision feedback equalizer includes a selection summing unit, a latch amplifier, a sampler and a resetter. When a sampling clock is at a high level, the selection summing unit is configured to selectively select a positive reference voltage or a negative reference voltage to sum with an input signal according to the logic levels of a positive selection signal terminal and a negative selection signal terminal to obtain a summation result, the latch amplifier is configured to latch and amplify the summation result and output an output result to a positive output signal terminal and a negative output signal terminal, and the sampler is configured to sample the selection summing unit. The resetter is configured to reset the positive output signal terminal and the negative output signal terminal when the sampling clock is at a low level.
