Abstract
The power consumption of broadband circuits used in wireline systems becomes increasingly more critical as higher speeds are sought. This article presents a number of design techniques that greatly relax the tradeoffs between the speed and power consumption of functions such as multiplexers (MUXs), frequency dividers, and equalizers. Examples include quadrature multiplexing, charge steering, and feedforward techniques. The concepts have been demonstrated in CMOS transceivers up to 56 GHz.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine publishes peer-reviewed articles that present emerging trends and practices in industrial electronics product research and development, key insights, and tutorial surveys in the field of interest to the member societies of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council. IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine will be limited to the scope of the Nanotechnology Council, which supports the theory, design, and development of nanotechnology and its scientific, engineering, and industrial applications.
