Abstract An auto-threshold circuit in accordance with the present invention comprises a full-wave peak sensor for accurately estimating slice levels for input signal detection. The peak sensor is qualified such that the auto-threshold circuit does not track an input signal with no modulation. The input signal is windowed with a phase-locked-loop so that the peak sensor is coherent to the input signal, causing the circuit to be insensitive to noise spikes or input distortion outside the window. The auto-threshold circuit includes a digital loop filter which receives the output from an auto-threshold controller and generates a corresponding binary signal which is converted by a digital Sigma/delta modulator to a single bit pulse density modulated signal having a predetermined sampling frequency. An adaptive equalizer in accordance with the present invention shares the auto-threshold slicing signal for generating its error feedback signal. The adaptive equalizer comprises a frequency selector which generates an output signal in response to the input signal and the feedback signal. As stated above, a threshold comparator slices the equalizer output at predetermined levels. A controller receives the comparator output and provides a controller output representative of the voltage level of the comparator output. A digital filter is then utilized to generate a corresponding binary signal as the feedback signal to the frequency selector. The adaptive equalizer is operable at more than one speed.
