High-speed data converters

As data rates increase to 25 Gb/s and higher, more advanced modulation (e.g. PAM-4 and OFDM) require data converters operating at unprecedented speeds at low power consumption.

In this project we explore the limits of data conversion with regard to conversion rate, power and chip area for high-speed I/O applications.
