This article presents an alternative strategy for communicating on bandwidth-limited wireline channels without using conventional equalizers or filters [feed-forward equalizer (FFE), decision feedback equalization (DFE), and continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE)]: inter-symbol interference (ISI) resilient Dicode encoding and error correction for low-bandwidth wireline channels. The key observation is that Dicode-encoded data have no consecutive 1s or −1s. With this known information, the error correction logic at the receiver can correct multi-bit errors due to ISI. Implemented in 65-nm CMOS, the proposed digital encoding and decoding approach can achieve bit-error rate (BER) less than 10−12 while communicating on a channel with an insertion loss of 24.2 and 21.4 dB with 2.56- and 2.66-pJ/bit efficiency while operating at 13.6 and 16 Gb/s, respectively.

用于无均衡器有线通信的 ISI 弹性数据编码——Dicode 编码和纠错，用于 2.56 pJ/bit 的 24.2-dB 损耗

本文介绍了一种在不使用传统均衡器或滤波器的情况下在带宽受限的有线信道上进行通信的替代策略 [前馈均衡器 (FFE)、判决反馈均衡器 (DFE) 和连续时间线性均衡器 (CTLE)]：符号间低带宽有线信道的干扰 (ISI) 弹性 Dicode 编码和纠错。关键观察是 Dicode 编码的数据没有连续的 1 或 -1。使用此已知信息，接收器的纠错逻辑可以纠正由于 ISI 引起的多位错误。在 65-nm CMOS 中实施，所提出的数字编码和解码方法可以实现小于 10-12 的误码率 (BER)，同时在插入损耗为 24.2 和 21.4 dB 的信道上进行通信，2.56- 和 2.66-pJ/以 13.6 和 16 Gb/s 运行时的位效率，
