    • Described embodiments calibrate a sampling phase adjustment of a receiver. An analog-to-digital converter generates samples of a received signal at a sample phase. A phase detector selects a window of n samples. If the window includes a Nyquist pattern, a bang-bang trap is enabled that iteratively, for each transition between a first consecutive bit and a second consecutive bit in the Nyquist pattern, samples the received signal at a zero crossing between the first and second consecutive bits and determines the transition polarity. Based on the transition polarity and the zero crossing sample value, the bang-bang trap determines whether the sample phase is correct. If Nyquist patterns are absent from the window, a margin phase detector determines a target voltage margin value and a voltage of a cursor bit of the window. Based on the target voltage margin and voltage, the margin phase detector determines whether the sample phase is correct.

    • Described embodiments adapt one or more taps of a decision feedback equalizer of a receiver by setting a reference voltage for each of one or more data recovery comparators to a corresponding predetermined initial value. The data recovery comparators generate a bit value for each sample of a received signal. A tap adaptation module of the receiver selects a window of n received bit samples. The tap adaptation module iteratively, for each of the one or more data recovery comparators, tracks (i) a detected number of bits having a logic 0 value, and (ii) a detected number of bits having a logic 1 value. The tap adaptation module adjusts, based on a ratio of the detected number of bits having a logic 0 value to the detected number of bits having a logic 1 value, the reference voltage for the corresponding data recovery comparator by a predetermined step amount.

    • Described embodiments recover timing data from a received signal. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) generates a value for each sample of the signal at a sample phase. A phase detector selects a window of n received bit samples, where n is a positive integer. If the bit window includes any Nyquist patterns, the phase detector enables a bang-bang trap. The bang-bang-trap iteratively, for each bit transition between a first consecutive bit and a second consecutive bit in the Nyquist patterns, samples the received signal at a zero crossing between the first and second consecutive bits and determines the polarity of the bit transition. Based on the polarity of the bit transition and the sample value at the zero crossing, the bang-bang trap determines whether the sample phase of the bit sample for the second consecutive bit is correct. If the sample phase is incorrect, the bang-bang trap adjusts the sample phase.

    • Described embodiments provide a method of recovering timing data from a received signal. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of a receiver generates an actual ADC value for each bit sample of a received signal. Each bit sample occurs at an associated sample phase of the receiver. A margin phase detector of the receiver recovers timing information from the received signal by determining a target voltage margin value. The margin phase detector selects a window of n received bit samples, where n is a positive integer, and determines a voltage of a cursor bit of the selected window of bit samples. The margin phase detector determines, based on the target voltage margin value and the voltage of the cursor bit, whether the sample phase is correct. If the sample phase is incorrect, the margin phase detector adjusts the sample phase of the receiver by a predetermined amount.
