A 4.1 pJ/b 25.6 Gb/s 4-PAM Reduced-State Sliding-Block Viterbi Detector in 14 nm CMOS

Andreas Peter Burg, Lukas Kull, Thomas Toifl, Giovanni Cherubini

The implementation of a digital four-level pulse-amplitude-modulation reduced-state sliding-block Viterbi detector (VD) with two substates and two embedded per-survivor decision-feedback taps operating at one-eighth of the modulation rate is described. Imp ...
