High speed DFEs with direct feedback

A method and system of equalizing in a decision feedback equalizer is provided. A plurality of adder circuits receives a digital code representing a previously decided symbol from an output of a prior path of a plurality of paths. A decision-making slicer circuit receives an input voltage and a first clock signal. The plurality of adder circuits receives a second clock signal and injects an offset current proportional to the digital code representing the previously decided symbol into a current injection input of the decision-making slicer circuit, at a first edge of the second clock signal. There is a predetermined skew between the first clock and the second clock to control a timing between the injection of the offset current of the plurality of adder circuits and the initiation of a decision-making phase of the decision-making slicer circuit.
