Receiver for recovering and retiming electromagnetically coupled data

Receiver for recovering and retiming electromagnetically coupled data

There is provided a method comprising receiving non-deterministic data from an electromagnetic probe coupled to a link under test (LUT) (70, Figure 1) in a receiver circuit 120 (120, Figure 1) coupled to the electromagnetic probe (110, Figure 1), adjusting at least one first control setting of an Analogue Front End (AFE) of the receiver circuit until an output signal from the AFE 125 toggles/transitions, adjusting at least one second control setting for a first plurality of iterations and determining a size of a data eye corresponding to the non-deterministic data at each iteration, setting the at least one first control setting corresponding to the setting when the output signal toggles and setting the at least one second control setting based on the determined data eye sizes to complete a training phase for the receiver circuit, and adaptively updating at least one of the first and second control settings during testing operations on the LUT. The method may further comprise adjusting ...
