Application of MIMO DF equalization to high-speed off-chip communication

Abstract

In this contribution, we present a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) equalizer with decision feedback (DF) for high-speed chip-to-chip communication. We derive an elegant closed-form expression for the minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalization filters and show that the application of MIMO DF equalization (DFE) allows to significantly improve the reliability of high-speed communication over low-cost electrical interconnects.
