For the next generation 8K (Quad-UHD) TV, this number is expected to exceed 140Gb/s. The everincreasing screen sizes pose an additional challenge by introducing high channel losses in the data lanes, requiring advanced equalization techniques such as decision feedback equalization (DFE) in the receiver, which hitherto has not been used in a display panel interface. At the same time, the requirement to integrate the receiver into the high-voltage pixel driver IC limits the technology of choice to 0.18μm CMOS. To achieve the required high-speed performance while
