  • Abstract
    With increasing demand on higher performance for I/O links, equalization in transmitters and receivers has been identified as a critical contributor that can improve the opening of the eye. This paper describes a method to optimize the equalization using zeroforcing to maximize I/O performance and its application to a realistic high-speed functioning system. Both hardware characterization and simulation results are provided to validate the method discussed in the paper.
