    Abstract: A network communications receiver and a method of operating the same in symbol timing recovery and equalization adaptation. A data converter samples a received analog signal at an initialization frequency higher than the symbol frequency of the received signal, and converts the samples to a digital sample stream. A decision feedback equalizer including a digital filter with one or more tap weights is adapted, and an error measurement obtained from the output of the decision feedback equalizer. In response to the error measurement crossing an error threshold value, a timing loop including timing error detection is initiated to adjust the phase of the sampling clock applied to the data converter.

    Abstract: A receiver circuit includes a feedback loop including a device. The receiver circuit also includes a register and a sequencer. The sequencer is configured to, responsive to an error signal being below a threshold value, cause the register to store a value indicative of the state of the feedback loop. The sequencer is also configured to cause the feedback loop to transition to a lower power state, and, responsive to a detected wake-up event, cause the previously stored value indicative of the state of the feedback loop to be loaded from the register into the device and enable the feedback loop.

    Abstract: A receiver circuit includes an interleaved ADC, a first delay circuit, a second delay circuit, a first processing channel, a second processing channel, and an interleaving ADC timing error detector circuit. The interleaved ADC includes a first ADC and a second ADC in parallel. The first delay circuit delays a first clock signal provided to the first ADC. The second delay circuit delays a second clock signal provided to the second ADC. The first processing channel processes data samples provided by the first ADC, and includes a first slicer. The second processing channel processes data samples provided by the second ADC, and includes a second slicer. The interleaving ADC timing error detector circuit controls delay of the first delay circuit and the second delay circuit based on an output signal of the first slicer, and an output signal or an input signal of the second slicer.
