SYNCHRONOUS INPUT BUFFER ENABLE FOR DFE OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17831251 titled 'SYNCHRONOUS INPUT BUFFER ENABLE FOR DFE OPERATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for aligning a receiver enable signal with clocking signals to reduce the likelihood of false or incorrect data capture in a memory system. This alignment improves the operation of a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) by increasing the accuracy of distortion correction.

• Receiver enable signal alignment with clocking signals reduces the chances of false or incorrect data capture.
• Improved operation of a memory system is achieved by aligning receiver operations with clocking signals.
• The alignment enhances the accuracy of distortion correction performed by a decision feedback equalizer (DFE).

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various fields where memory systems are used, such as:

• Computer systems
• Mobile devices
• Data storage devices
• Networking equipment

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems:

• False or incorrect data capture in memory systems
• Inaccurate distortion correction in decision feedback equalizers (DFEs)

Benefits

The use of this technology provides several benefits:

• Reduced likelihood of false or incorrect data capture
• Improved operation and performance of memory systems
• Increased accuracy of distortion correction in DFEs

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods that may enable alignment of a receiver enable signal with one or more clocking signals. By aligning the receiver operations with the one or more clocking signals, a likelihood of a false or incorrect data capture may be reduced, which may improve operation of a memory system. Reducing a likelihood of incorrect data capture may increase an accuracy of a distortion correction operation of a decision feedback equalizer (DFE).
