Abstract
A 36-Gb/s
$2\times $
half-baud-rate (THBR) adaptive receiver (RX) is presented. The pattern-based adaptation method for adjusting the frequency response of a continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) is proposed. In addition, the reference voltage of the comparators is adapted to enhance the timing margin of the recovered clock in the RX. This THBR adaptive RX is fabricated in TSMC 28-nm CMOS technology with a core area of 0.097 mm2. The measured bit error rate (BER) is less than 10−12 for a 36-Gb/s pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) of 27 – 1, when the channel loss is 19 dB at 18 GHz. The total power consumption of this RX is 76 mW with gated adaptation circuits. The calculated figure of merit (FoM) is 2.1 pJ/bit.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems is published as a monthly journal under the co-sponsorship of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the IEEE Computer Society, and the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society.
Design and realization of microelectronic systems using VLSI/ULSI technologies require close collaboration among scientists and engineers in the fields of systems architecture, logic and circuit design, chips and wafer fabrication, packaging, testing and systems applications. Generation of specifications, design and verification must be performed at all abstraction levels, including the system, register-transfer, logic, circuit, transistor and process levels.
To address this critical area through a common forum, the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems have been founded. The editorial board, consisting of international experts, invites original papers which emphasize and merit the novel systems integration aspects of microelectronic systems including interactions among systems design and partitioning, logic and memory design, digital and analog circuit design, layout synthesis, CAD tools, chips and wafer fabrication, testing and packaging, and systems level qualification. Thus, the coverage of these Transactions will focus on VLSI/ULSI microelectronic systems integration.
