Receiver

A receiver for a wireline channel communication system, comprising:

• an input for receiving a signal from one or more wires;
• an analog-to-digital converter (ADC)configured to receive an analog signal from said input and configured to output a digital representation of the analog signal;
• a slicer module configured to receive the digital representation of the analog signal and configured to output a digital logic signal based on an amplitude of the analog signal;
• a high pass filter (HPF) configured to receive the digital representation of the analog signal and output a filtered signal;
• a phase detector configured to receive a first signal based on the digital logic signal, and the filtered signal, wherein the phase detector is further configured to output an error signal indicative of a phase difference between the first signal and the filtered signal;
• and
• a clock data recovery (CDR) module configured to output a clock adjustment signal based on the error signal, wherein the clock adjustment signal is configured to control a sampling performed by the ADC.

A method for controlling a receiver for a wireline channel communication system comprising:

• an input for receiving a signal from one or more wires, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a slicer module, a high pass filter (HPF), a phase detector, and a clock data recovery (CDR) module;
• the method comprising
• receiving, by the ADC an analog signal;
• converting the analog signal to a digital representation of the analog signal;
• assigning, by the slicer module, digital logic values to the digital representation of the analog signal based on an amplitude of the analog signal to form a digital logic signal;
• filtering, by the HPF, the digital representation of the analog signal to generate a filtered signal;
• determining, by the phase detector an error signal based on a difference between the digital logic signal and the filtered signal;
• and
• determining by the CDR module a clock adjustment signal configured to control a sampling performed by the ADC.
