A 4.8pJ/b 6Gb/s ADC-Based PAM-4 Wireline Receiver Data -Path with Cyclic Prefix in 14nm FinFET

Andreas Peter Burg, Cosimo Aprile, Yusuf Leblebici, Alessandro Cevrero, Gain Kim, Lukas Kull, Ilter Ozkaya, Thomas Toifl

This work presents an ADC-bascd receiver (RX) data-path for frame-based PAM-4 modulation with a cyclic prefix (CP). Similar to discrete multi-tone (DMT) modulation, a frame of PAM-4 symbols arc protected from the channel delay spread by the CP taps. A PAM- ...

4x40 Gb/s 2 pJ/bit Optical RX with 8ns Power-on and CDR-Lock Time in 14nm CMOS

Alessandro Cevrero, Ilter Ozkaya, Thomas Toifl

We report a low-power 4-channel NRZ optical RX including a digital burst-mode CDR measured up to 40Gb/s/lane in 14nm CMOS. The RX, designed for 850nm VCSEL based optical links, can wake-up and achieve phase-lock in 8ns at BER

Parallel Implementation Technique of Digital Equalizer for Ultra-High-Speed Wireline Receiver

Cosimo Aprile, Yusuf Leblebici, Alessandro Cevrero, Lukas Kull, Gain Kim, Ilter Ozkaya, Thomas Toifl

This paper presents a parallel implementation technique of digital equalizer for high-speed wireline serial link receiver (RX). In wireline RX, inter-symbol interference (ISI) is mitigated by continuous-time linear equalizer, and the remaining ISI is cance ...

An Eight lanes 7Gb/s/pin Source Synchronous Single-Ended RX with Equalization and Far-End Crosstalk Cancellation for Backplane Channels

Volkan Cevher, Cosimo Aprile, Yusuf Leblebici, Alessandro Cevrero, Lukas Kull, Thomas Toifl

This paper presents a versatile crosstalk cancellation scheme for single-ended multi-lane backplane links. System-level investigations show that a scheme, which combines analog filters and decision-feedback crosstalk compensation on the receiver (RX) side ...
