The first buffer ehibits fast transition time and corrects the signal amplitude. This limiting is critical because the equalizer output exhibits large over shoots even when the ISI is minimized. The second buffer produces an output with a fixed transition time that optimize the output ISI. This optimal transition time is achieved when the obseved output exhibits the lowest ISI.

Green / UC Irvine 30 Feedback Path The feedback path is shown here where you can see the two detectors are designed to give an output pulse whose engergy is proportional to the input transition time. The pulses are then applied to the differential inputs of an integrator. The integrator output resonds to the difference of the transition time between the detector inputs. When the adaptive loop reaches steady state, v control will be set such that the equalizer output will exhibit the same transition time as the slicer output.
