DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0062] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the disclosed embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict.
[0063] At present, when the memory receives input data signals, there is an inter-symbol interference problem, which affects the quality of receiving the input data signals. In order to solve the inter-symbol interference problem, a decision feedback equalization circuit is often used to process the input data signal to improve the quality of signal transmission.
[0064] In related technologies, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram of a data receiving circuit is shown. The data receiving circuit includes a plurality of decision feedback equalization circuits, each decision feedback equalization circuit includes a comparator CMP and a latch Latch, and the comparison signal output by each comparator CMP is input to the comparator CMP of the next level decision feedback equalization circuit. Among them, the comparison signal output by the comparator CMP of the last level decision feedback equalization circuit is input to the comparator CMP of the first level decision feedback equalization circuit. The comparator CMP includes a first comparison branch and a second comparison branch. The first comparison branch receives the input data signal Data, the first reference voltage signal Vref1 and the comparison signal of the previous level. The second comparison branch receives the input data signal Data, the second reference voltage signal Vref2 and the comparison signal of the previous level. The comparator CMP is used to compare the input data signal Data with the first reference voltage signal Vref1 and the second reference voltage signal Vref2 respectively, and then output the comparison signal of this level in combination with the comparison signal of the previous level. The latch Latch is coupled to the comparator CMP, and is used to latch the comparison signal and then output the target data signal Out. Among them, the target data signal Out output by each level of decision feedback equalization circuit is 1 bit data in the input data signal Data. Although the decision feedback equalization circuit can solve the problem of inter-symbol interference, in the process of outputting the comparison signal, the first comparison branch and the second comparison branch are both in operation. The simultaneous operation of the first comparison branch and the second comparison branch will cause a large current in the decision feedback equalization circuit, resulting in high power consumption of the decision feedback equalization circuit.
[0065] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a decision feedback equalization circuit. Since the target data signal output by the decision feedback equalization circuit is only related to the first data signal output by the first amplification equalization circuit or the second data signal output by the second amplification equalization circuit, the first amplification equalization circuit and the second amplification equalization circuit are selectively operated through a selection signal, and the amplification equalization circuit that is not related to the target data signal is turned off. Since one amplification equalization circuit is turned off, the operating current of the first amplification equalization circuit or the second amplification equalization circuit is reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the decision feedback equalization circuit.
[0066] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a decision feedback equalization circuit is provided, such as Figure 2 As shown, the decision feedback equalization circuit includes a first amplification equalization circuit 10, a second amplification equalization circuit 20 and a selection sampling circuit 30. The first amplification equalization circuit 10 receives an input data signal Data, a first reference voltage signal Vref1 and a tap signal Tap, and is used to output a first data signal according to the input data signal Data, the first reference voltage signal Vref1 and the tap signal Tap. The second amplification equalization circuit 20 receives an input data signal Data, a second reference voltage signal Vref2 and a tap signal Tap, and is used to output a second data signal according to the input data signal Data, the second reference voltage signal Vref2 and the tap signal Tap. The selection sampling circuit 30 is coupled to both the first amplification equalization circuit 10 and the second amplification equalization circuit 20, and is used to select and sample the first data signal and the second data signal according to the selection signal Cs and the sampling clock signal Clk, and output the target data signal Out. Among them, the first amplification equalization circuit 10 and the second amplification equalization circuit 20 are operated one by one according to the selection signal Cs.
[0067] In this embodiment, the decision feedback equalization circuit includes a first amplification equalization circuit, a second amplification equalization circuit and a selection sampling circuit. The first amplification equalization circuit and the second amplification equalization circuit process the input data signal with the first reference voltage signal and the second reference voltage signal, thereby avoiding the single reference voltage signal from misprocessing the input data signal to improve the accuracy of the target data signal. The first data signal and the second data signal are selected and sampled by the selection sampling circuit, and the target data signal is output. Since the selection signal enables the first amplification equalization circuit and the second amplification equalization circuit to operate selectively, the operating current of the first amplification equalization circuit or the second amplification equalization circuit is reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the decision feedback equalization circuit. At the same time, since the first amplification equalization circuit, the second amplification equalization circuit and the selection sampling circuit reuse the selection signal, the number of control signals is reduced, thereby reducing the complexity of the decision feedback equalization circuit structure.
[0068] Exemplarily, the first data signal includes a first in-phase data signal and a first inverted data signal, and the first in-phase data signal and the first inverted data signal are complementary signals. The second data signal includes a second in-phase data signal and a second inverted data signal, and the second in-phase data signal and the second inverted data signal are complementary signals. In addition to outputting the target data signal Out, the sampling circuit 30 can also output a complementary signal of the target data signal Out.
[0069] In some exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, Figure 3a As shown, Figure 3a A schematic diagram of the structure of a first amplifying and equalizing circuit provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The first amplifying and equalizing circuit 10 includes a first amplifying circuit 11, a first equalizing circuit 12 and a first gating circuit 13. The first amplifying circuit 11 is coupled to the selection sampling circuit 30, receives the input data signal Data and the first reference voltage signal Vref1, and is used to amplify the first voltage difference signal of the input data signal Data and the first reference voltage signal Vref1. The first equalizing circuit 12 is coupled to the first amplifying circuit 11 and the selection sampling circuit 30, receives the tap signal Tap and the first voltage difference signal, and is used to perform decision feedback equalization on the input data signal Data according to the tap signal Tap and the amplified first voltage difference signal to output the first data signal. The first gating circuit 13 is coupled to the first amplifying circuit 11, receives the selection signal Cs, and is used to control the first amplifying circuit 11 to be turned on or off according to the selection signal Cs.
[0070] In this embodiment, the first amplifying and equalizing circuit includes a first amplifying circuit, a first equalizing circuit and a first gating circuit. The first amplifying circuit amplifies the first voltage difference signal between the input data signal and the first reference voltage signal. The first equalizing circuit performs decision feedback equalization on the input data signal to solve the problem of inter-symbol interference. The first gating circuit controls the first amplifying circuit to be turned on or off, thereby reducing the power consumption of the first amplifying and equalizing circuit.
[0071] Exemplarily, the first voltage difference signal includes a first in-phase voltage difference signal and a first inverted voltage difference signal. When the first reference voltage signal Vref1 is less than the input data signal Data, the first in-phase voltage difference signal is greater than the first inverted voltage difference signal. When the first reference voltage signal Vref1 is greater than the input data signal Data, the first in-phase voltage difference signal is less than the first inverted voltage difference signal. The first equalization circuit 12 performs decision feedback equalization on the input data signal Data according to the amplified first in-phase voltage difference signal, the amplified first inverted voltage difference signal and the tap signal Tap, and outputs the first data signal.
[0072] In some exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, Figure 3b As shown, Figure 3bA schematic diagram of the structure of a second amplifying and equalizing circuit provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The second amplifying and equalizing circuit 20 includes a second amplifying circuit 21, a second equalizing circuit 22, and a second gating circuit 23. The second amplifying circuit 21 is coupled to the selection sampling circuit 30, and is used to amplify the second voltage difference signal of the input data signal Data and the second reference voltage signal Vref2. The second equalizing circuit 22 is coupled to the second amplifying circuit 21 and the selection sampling circuit 30, and is used to perform decision feedback equalization on the input data signal Data according to the tap signal Tap and the amplified second voltage difference signal to output the second data signal. The second gating circuit 23 is coupled to the second amplifying circuit 21, and is used to control the second amplifying circuit 21 to be turned on or off according to the selection signal Cs.
[0073] In this embodiment, the second amplifying and equalizing circuit includes a second amplifying circuit, a second equalizing circuit and a second gating circuit. The second amplifying circuit amplifies the second voltage difference signal of the input data signal and the second reference voltage signal. The second equalizing circuit performs decision feedback equalization on the input data signal to solve the problem of inter-symbol interference. The second gating circuit controls the second amplifying circuit to be turned on or off, thereby reducing the power consumption of the second amplifying and equalizing circuit.
[0074] Exemplarily, the second voltage difference signal includes a second in-phase voltage difference signal and a second inverted voltage difference signal. When the second reference voltage signal Vref2 is less than the input data signal Data, the second in-phase voltage difference signal is greater than the second inverted voltage difference signal. When the second reference voltage signal Vref2 is greater than the input data signal Data, the second in-phase voltage difference signal is less than the second inverted voltage difference signal. The second equalization circuit 22 performs decision feedback equalization on the input data signal Data according to the amplified second in-phase voltage difference signal, the amplified second inverted voltage difference signal and the tap signal Tap, and outputs a second data signal.
[0075] In some exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, Figure 4a As shown, Figure 4a The schematic diagram of the structure of the first amplifying and equalizing circuit provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The selection signal Cs includes a first selection signal Cs1. The first gating circuit 13 includes a first gating transistor Qs1. The first gating transistor Qs1 is coupled between the first amplifying circuit 11 and the common terminal GND, and the control terminal receives the first selection signal Cs1.
[0076] In this embodiment, the first gating circuit includes a first gating transistor. Only one transistor is needed to control the on or off of the first amplifying circuit, thereby reducing the complexity of the structure of the first gating circuit.
[0077] It can be understood that, in addition to using the first selection transistor Qs1 as the first selection circuit 13, other devices or combinations of devices having a switching function may also be used as the first selection circuit 13.
[0078] In some exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, Figure 4b As shown, Figure 4b The schematic diagram of the structure of the second amplifying and equalizing circuit provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The selection signal Cs also includes a second selection signal Cs2, and the first selection signal Cs1 and the second selection signal Cs2 are complementary signals. The second gating circuit 23 includes a second gating transistor Qs2. The second gating transistor Qs2 is coupled between the second amplifying circuit 21 and the common terminal GND, and the control terminal receives the second selection signal Cs2.
[0079] In this embodiment, the second gating circuit includes a second gating transistor, and only one transistor is needed to control the conduction or disconnection of the second amplifier circuit, thereby reducing the complexity of the second gating circuit structure. At the same time, the conduction and disconnection of the first gating transistor are controlled by the first selection signal, and the conduction and disconnection of the second gating transistor are controlled by the second selection signal, and the first gating transistor and the second gating transistor are controlled by a set of complementary signals, thereby reducing the complexity of the selection signal generation and thus reducing the complexity of the decision feedback equalization circuit structure.
[0080] It can be understood that, in addition to using the second selection transistor Qs2 as the second selection circuit 23, other devices or combinations of devices having a switching function may also be used as the second selection circuit 23.
[0081] It is understandable that, in addition to using the first selection transistor Qs1 as the first selection circuit 13 and the second selection transistor Qs2 as the second selection circuit 23, a single-pole double-throw switch can also be used as the first selection circuit 13 and the second selection circuit 23.
[0082] In one embodiment, the first selection signal Cs1 includes the previous bit data of the target data signal Out, and the second selection signal Cs2 includes the previous bit data of the complementary signal of the target data signal Out. The previous bit data of the target data signal Out is relative to the current bit data of the target data signal Out. The previous bit data of the complementary signal of the target data signal Out is relative to the current bit data of the complementary signal of the target data signal Out.
[0083] In this embodiment, the previous bit of the target data signal is used as the first selection signal, and the previous bit of the complementary signal of the target data signal is used as the second selection signal. The first selection signal and the second selection signal can turn on and off the first selection transistor and the second selection transistor according to the need of input data signal transmission. The first selection transistor, the second selection transistor and the selection sampling circuit are controlled by the target data signal and its complementary signal, which reduces the complexity of the selection signal generation, thereby reducing the complexity of the decision feedback equalization circuit structure.
[0084] In some exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, Figure 5a As shown, Figure 5a A structural schematic diagram of a first amplifying and balancing circuit provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The first amplifier circuit 11 includes a first input transistor Qi1, a second input transistor Qi2, a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2. The control end of the first input transistor Qi1 receives a first reference voltage signal Vref1. The control end of the second input transistor Qi2 receives an input data signal Data. The first resistor R1 is coupled between the first end of the first input transistor Qi1 and the power supply VCC. The second resistor R2 is coupled between the first end of the second input transistor Qi2 and the power supply VCC. Among them, the second end of the first input transistor Qi1 and the second end of the second input transistor Qi2 are both coupled to the first gating circuit 13. That is, coupled to the first gating transistor Qs1. The signal between the first input transistor Qi1 and the first resistor R1 is an amplified first in-phase voltage difference signal, and the signal between the second input transistor Qi2 and the second resistor R2 is an amplified first inverse voltage difference signal.
[0085] In this embodiment, the first amplifier circuit includes a first input transistor, a second input transistor, a first resistor and a second resistor, and receives a first reference voltage signal and an input data signal through the first input transistor and the second input transistor to amplify a first voltage difference signal between the input data signal and the first reference voltage signal. The first amplifier circuit is formed by two transistors and two resistors, thereby reducing the complexity of the structure of the first amplifier circuit.

Among them, the second end of the third input transistor Qi3 and the second end of the fourth input transistor Qi4 are both coupled to the second gating circuit 23. That is, coupled to the second gating transistor Qs2. The signal between the third input transistor Qi3 and the third resistor R3 is an amplified second in-phase voltage difference signal, and the signal between the fourth input transistor Qi4 and the fourth resistor R4 is an amplified second in-phase voltage difference signal.
[0087] In this embodiment, the second amplifier circuit includes a third input transistor, a fourth input transistor, a third resistor and a fourth resistor, and receives the second reference voltage signal and the input data signal through the third input transistor and the fourth input transistor to amplify the second voltage difference signal between the input data signal and the second reference voltage signal. The second amplifier circuit is formed by two transistors and two resistors, which reduces the complexity of the second amplifier circuit structure.
[0088] Exemplarily, the amplified first in-phase voltage difference signal is processed by the first equalizing circuit 12 to become the first in-phase data signal in the first data signal. The amplified first inverse voltage difference signal is processed by the first equalizing circuit 12 to become the first inverse data signal in the first data signal. The amplified second in-phase voltage difference signal is processed by the second equalizing circuit 22 to become the second in-phase data signal in the second data signal. The amplified second inverse voltage difference signal is processed by the second equalizing circuit 22 to become the second inverse data signal in the second data signal. The sampling circuit 30 selects and outputs the target data signal Out and its complementary signal according to the received first in-phase data signal and the first inverse data signal, or the second in-phase data signal and the second inverse data signal.

The selection sampling circuit 30 includes a data selection circuit 31 and a sampling circuit 32. The data selection circuit 31 is coupled to both the first amplification and equalization circuit 10 and the second amplification and equalization circuit 20, receives a selection signal Cs, and is used to select the first data signal or the second data signal according to the selection signal Cs.

[0093] In this embodiment, the sampling circuit includes a data selection circuit and a sampling circuit. The data selection circuit selects the first data signal or the second data signal, and the sampling circuit samples the signal selected by the data selection circuit to output the target data signal. Since one sampling circuit can perform sampling to output the target data signal, the number of sampling circuits required is small, which reduces the complexity of the decision feedback equalization circuit structure.
[0094] For example, Figure 7b As shown, Figure 7b The schematic diagram of the structure of the selection sampling circuit provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

At the same time, since each transmission gate is coupled to the selection signal, the complexity of signal generation is reduced, thereby reducing the complexity of the decision feedback equalization circuit structure.
[0097] Exemplarily, the transmission gate TG includes an N-type transistor and a P-type transistor connected in parallel. One end of the N-type transistor and the P-type transistor coupled in parallel is the input end of the transmission gate TG, and the other end is the output end of the transmission gate TG.

[0098] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9The structural schematic diagram of the decision feedback equalization circuit provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The decision feedback equalization circuit includes a first input transistor Qi1, a second input transistor Qi2, a third input transistor Qi3, a fourth input transistor Qi4, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3 and a fourth resistor R4, a first selection transistor Qs1, a second selection transistor Qs2, a first transmission gate TG1, a second transmission gate TG2, a third transmission gate TG3, a fourth transmission gate TG4 and a sampling circuit 32.

[0099] For example, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, Fig.10The working timing diagram of the decision feedback equalization circuit provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Before transmitting the D1 data, the decision feedback equalization circuit is in an initialization state. In the process of transmitting the input data signal Data, when transmitting the D1, D2, D7 and D9 data, the first selection transistor Qs1 turns on the first amplifier circuit 11, and the second selection transistor Qs2 turns off the second amplifier circuit 21. When transmitting the D3, D4, D5, D6 and D8 data, the first selection transistor Qs1 turns off the first amplifier circuit 11, and the second selection transistor Qs2 turns on the second amplifier circuit 21. Since only one amplifier circuit is turned on at the same time, the working current of the amplifier circuit is reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the decision feedback equalization circuit. Among them, Data1 is an ideal input data signal, Data2 is an actual input data signal, Vref1 is a first reference voltage signal, Vref2 is a second reference voltage signal, Clk is a sampling clock signal, Out1 is a first in-phase data signal in the first data signal, Out2 is a second in-phase data signal in the second data signal, and Out is a target data signal. The dotted line in Out1 indicates that the first amplifier circuit 11 is disconnected, and the dotted line in Out2 indicates that the second amplifier circuit 21 is disconnected.
[0100] The embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a data receiving circuit, which includes a plurality of decision feedback equalization circuits as in any of the above embodiments.
[0101] In some exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, the sampling phases of the sampling clock signal Clk received by each decision feedback equalization circuit are different, and in the sampling phase order of the sampling clock signal Clk, the phase differences of the sampling clock signals Clk received by the decision feedback equalization circuits with adjacent sampling phases are the same.
[0102] In this embodiment, since each decision feedback equalization circuit can output the target data signal, when sampling and outputting the target data signal with different sampling phases, different decision feedback equalization circuits output different bit data in the target data signal, thereby increasing the number of bits of data transmission. Since the phase difference of the sampling clock signals received by adjacent decision feedback equalization circuits is the same, different bit data in the target data signal can be output to avoid omission, thereby improving the reliability of input data signal transmission.
[0103] Exemplarily, when the number of decision feedback equalization circuits in the data receiving circuit is 4, the phase difference of the sampling clock signal Clk received by the decision feedback equalization circuits with adjacent sampling phases is 90°. The sampling phase of the sampling clock signal Clk of the first decision feedback equalization circuit is 0°. The sampling phase of the sampling clock signal Clk of the second decision feedback equalization circuit is 90°. The sampling phase of the sampling clock signal Clk of the third decision feedback equalization circuit is 180°. The sampling phase of the sampling clock signal Clk of the fourth decision feedback equalization circuit is 270°.
[0104] It is understandable that, as the number of decision feedback equalization circuits in the data receiving circuit changes, the phase difference of the sampling clock signal Clk received by the decision feedback equalization circuits with adjacent sampling phases may also be 45°, etc., which is not limited here.
[0105] In some exemplary embodiments provided by the present disclosure, in the sampling phase sequence of the sampling clock signal Clk, the selection signal Cs received by each decision feedback equalization circuit includes the target data signal Out and its complementary signal output by the decision feedback equalization circuit corresponding to the previous sampling phase. Among them, the selection signal Cs received by the decision feedback equalization circuit corresponding to the first sampling phase is the target data signal Out and its complementary signal output by the decision feedback equalization circuit corresponding to the last sampling phase.
[0106] In this embodiment, by using the target data signal and its complementary signal output by the decision feedback equalization circuit corresponding to the previous sampling phase as the selection signal, there is no need to add a circuit for generating the selection signal, thereby reducing the complexity of the data receiving circuit structure.
[0107] Exemplarily, when the number of decision feedback equalization circuits in the data receiving circuit is 4, in the sampling phase order of the sampling clock signal Clk, the selection signal Cs received by the first decision feedback equalization circuit includes the target data signal Out output by the fourth decision feedback equalization circuit and its complementary signal. The selection signal Cs received by the second decision feedback equalization circuit includes the target data signal Out output by the first decision feedback equalization circuit and its complementary signal. The selection signal Cs received by the third decision feedback equalization circuit includes the target data signal Out output by the second decision feedback equalization circuit and its complementary signal. The selection signal Cs received by the fourth decision feedback equalization circuit includes the target data signal Out output by the third decision feedback equalization circuit and its complementary signal.
[0108] In some exemplary embodiments provided by the present disclosure, for a tap signal Tap of a decision feedback equalization circuit, it includes a target data signal Out and its complementary signal of the decision feedback equalization circuit that differ from the sampling phase of the sampling clock signal Clk of the decision feedback equalization circuit by one or more phase differences, and a target data signal Out and its complementary signal output by the decision feedback equalization circuit in the previous sampling clock cycle. According to the number of tap signals Tap in the decision feedback equalization circuit, the decision feedback equalization circuit can be divided into a 1-Tap decision feedback equalization circuit, a 2-Tap decision feedback equalization circuit, a 3-Tap decision feedback equalization circuit, a 4-Tap decision feedback equalization circuit, etc.
[0109] In this embodiment, by using the target data signal and its complementary signal as the tap signal, signal multiplexing is achieved, thereby reducing the complexity of the data receiving circuit structure. At the same time, using the target data signal and its complementary signal as the tap signal enables the first amplification and equalization circuit or the second amplification and equalization circuit to perform decision feedback equalization on the input data signal, thereby solving the inter-symbol interference problem and improving the reliability of the input data signal transmission.
[0110] For example, Fig.11 As shown, Fig.11The structural schematic diagram of a data receiving circuit provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The data receiving circuit includes a first decision feedback equalization circuit, a second decision feedback equalization circuit, a third decision feedback equalization circuit and a fourth decision feedback equalization circuit. The first decision feedback equalization circuit, the second decision feedback equalization circuit, the third decision feedback equalization circuit and the fourth decision feedback equalization circuit all include a first amplification equalization circuit 10, a second amplification equalization circuit 20, a data selection circuit 31 and a sampling circuit 32, and all receive an input data signal Data, a first reference voltage signal Vref1 and a second reference voltage signal Vref2. The first decision feedback equalization circuit receives a first sampling clock signal Clk_0. The second decision feedback equalization circuit receives a second sampling clock signal Clk_90. The third decision feedback equalization circuit receives a third sampling clock signal Clk_180. The fourth decision feedback equalization circuit receives a fourth sampling clock signal Clk_270. The first decision feedback equalization circuit outputs a first target data signal Out_0. The second decision feedback equalization circuit outputs a second target data signal Out_90. The third decision feedback equalization circuit outputs a third target data signal Out_180. The fourth decision feedback equalization circuit outputs a fourth target data signal Out_270. The tap signal Tap received by the first decision feedback equalization circuit includes the previous first target data signal Out_0(n-1), the second target data signal Out_90 and the third target data signal Out_180 output by the first decision feedback equalization circuit in the previous sampling clock cycle. The tap signal Tap received by the second decision feedback equalization circuit includes the previous second target data signal Out_90(n-1), the third target data signal Out_180 and the fourth target data signal Out_270 output by the second decision feedback equalization circuit in the previous sampling clock cycle. The tap signal Tap received by the third decision feedback equalization circuit includes the previous third target data signal Out_180(n-1), the first target data signal Out_0 and the fourth target data signal Out_270 output by the third decision feedback equalization circuit in the previous sampling clock cycle. The tap signal Tap received by the fourth decision feedback equalization circuit includes the previous fourth target data signal Out_270(n-1), the first target data signal Out_0 and the second target data signal Out_90 output by the fourth decision feedback equalization circuit in the previous sampling clock cycle. The selection signal Cs received by the first decision feedback equalization circuit includes the fourth target data signal Out_270. The selection signal Cs received by the second decision feedback equalization circuit includes the first target data signal Out_0. The selection signal Cs received by the third decision feedback equalization circuit includes the second target data signal Out_90. The selection signal Cs received by the fourth decision feedback equalization circuit includes the third target data signal Out_180.Among them, the first target data signal Out_0, the second target data signal Out_90, the third target data signal Out_180, the fourth target data signal Out_270, the previous first target data signal Out_0(n-1), the previous second target data signal Out_90(n-1), the previous third target data signal Out_180(n-1) and the previous fourth target data signal Out_270(n-1) also include their corresponding complementary signals. Since the selection signal Cs can enable the first amplification and equalization circuit 10 and the second amplification and equalization circuit 20 to operate one by one, the operating current of the four amplification and equalization circuits is reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the data receiving circuit. At the same time, since each decision feedback equalization circuit only includes one sampling circuit 32, four sampling circuits 32 are reduced, reducing the complexity of the data receiving circuit structure.
[0111] Exemplarily, when the number of decision feedback equalization circuits in the data receiving circuit is n, the operating current of the n amplification equalization circuits can be reduced to reduce power consumption, and the n sampling circuits 32 can be reduced to reduce the complexity of the data receiving circuit structure.
