A 20-Gb/s, 0.66-pJ/bit serial receiver with 2-stage continuous-time linear equalizer and 1-tap decision feedback equalizer in 45nm SOI CMOS
Abstract
A power-efficient equalizing serial receiver, including a 2-stage continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) and 1-tap decision feedback equalizer (DFE), is reported operating at data rates of up to 20 Gb/s. The DFE adopts a half-rate speculative architecture without explicit summing amplifiers by injecting offset-controlling currents directly into StrongARM sampling latches. At 20 Gb/s, a PCB trace with 26.3dB of loss is equalized while consuming 13.2mW (0.66 pJ/bit). © 2011 JSAP (Japan Society of Applied Physi.
