1. An integrated circuit communication device configured for operation over a multi-pair transmission channel, the communication device comprising:

  • a decoder adapted to decode a signal having a plurality of states, and generating tentative decisions regarding a path and a final decision;

    a single-state decision feedback equalizer adapted to receive the tentative decisions and to produce a single-state intersymbol interference (ISI) compensation signal corresponding to a first ISI component based on the tentative decisions; and

    a state multiplication circuit adapted to receive a tail component generated by subtracting the single-state ISI compensation signal from a signal sample and to produce a signal having a plurality states, suitable for decoding by the decoder, based on the tail component.
