This paper presents the low-power circuit techniques suitable for high-speed digital parallel interfaces each operating at over 10 Gbps. One potential application for such high-performance I/Os is the interface between the channel IC and the magnetic read head in future compact hard disk systems. First, a crosstalk cancellation technique using a novel data encoding scheme is introduced to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by the adjacent parallel I/Os . This technique is implemented utilizing a novel 8-4-PAM signaling with a data look-ahead algorithm. The key circuit components in the high-speed interface transceiver including the receive sampler, the phase interpolator, and the transmitter output driver are described in detail. Designed in a 0.13-μm digital CMOS process, the transceiver consumes 310 mW per 10-Gps channel from a I-V supply based on simulation results. Next, a 20-Gbps continuous-time adaptive passive equalizer utilizing on-chip lumped RLC components is described. Passive equalizers offer the advantages of higher bandwidth and lower power consumption compared with conventional designs using active filter. A low-power, continuous-time servo loop is designed to automatically adjust the equalizer frequency response for the optimal gain compensation. The equalizer not only adapts to different channel characteristics, but also accommodates temperature and process variations. Implemented in a 0.25-μm, 1P6M BiCMOS process, the equalizer can compensate up to 20 dB of loss at 10 GHz while only consumes 32 mW from a 2.5-V supply.

Low power circuits functioning in sub threshold were proposed in earlier seventies. Recently, growing with the need of low power consumption, the low power circuits have became more attractive. However, the act of sub threshold design logics has become sensitive to the supply voltage & process variations like temperature and so on. In sub threshold region of operations the supply voltage (Vgs) is less than the threshold (Vth).This leads to less power dissipation in over all circuit, but drastically increment in propagation delay. The major intention of the paper is to offer new low power & less delay digital circuits. SRAM is the major power drawing element and dissipation is about 40% in total power. The primary objective is to design of sub threshold SRAM design, Functionality and performance is estimated from the power and delay.The second objective is to offer novel Source coupled logic based SRAM (ST-SC SRA) M & Operating these design under sub threshold operating region. Performance is analyzed through power and delay. Finally comparing the traditional sub threshold SRAM with source coupled based SRAM in power and delay on par with the performance. Discussing some of the applications, where there is a requirement of less power and delay.
