A 100 Gb/s quad-lane SerDes receiver with a phase-interpolator (PI)-based quarter-rate all-digital clock and data recovery (CDR) is presented. The proposed CDR utilizes a multi-phase multiplying delay-locked loop (MDLL) to generate the eight-phase reference clocks, which achieves multi-phase frequency multiplication with a small area and less power consumption. The shared MDLL generates and distributes eight-phase clocks to each CDR. The proposed CDR uses a new initial phase tracker that uses a preamble to achieve a fast lock time of about 12 ns and to provide a constant output data sequence. The CDR utilizes quarter-rate 2x-oversampling architecture, and the PI controller is designed full custom to minimize the loop latency. To improve the dithering jitter performance of the recovered clock, the decimation factor of the CDR can be adjustable. Also, a new continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) receiver was adopted to reduce power consumption and achieved a data rate of 25 Gb/s/lane. The proposed SerDes receiver with a digital CDR is implemented in 40 nm CMOS technology. The 100 Gb/s four-channel SerDes receiver (4 CTLEs + 4 CDRs + MDLL) occupies an active area of only 0.351 mm2 and consumes 241.8 mW, which achieves a high energy efficiency of 2.418 pJ/bit.

Abstract. A Gb/s clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit using 1/4th-rate digital quadricorrelator frequency detector and skew-calibrated multi-phase voltage-controlled oscillator is presented. With 1/4th-rate clock architecture, the coil-free oscillator can have lower operation frequency providing sufficient low-jitter operation. Moreover, it is an inherent 1-to-4 DEMUX. The skew calibration scheme is applied to reduce phase offset in multi-phase clock generator. The CDR with frequency detector can have small loop bandwidth, wide pull-in range and can operate without the need for a local reference clock. This 1/4th-rate CDR is implemented in standard 0.18 μm CMOS technology. It has an active area of 0.7 mm2 and consumes 100 mW at 1.8 V supply. The CDR has low jitter operation in a wide frequency range from 1–2.25 Gb/s. Measurement of Bit-Error Rate is less than 10−12 for 2.25 Gb/s incoming data 27−1 PRBS, jitter peak-to-peak of 0.7 unit interval (UI) modulation at 10 MHz.

A novel 1/4-rate clock phase detector (PD) structure for phase locked loop (PLL)-based clock and data recovery (CDR) is proposed. In this topology, the retimed data is generated within the circuit and no extra circuit is required. Furthermore, the error and reference signals are independent of delay time through gates and thus, no extra replica circuit is needed to compensate such delay. Designed in a 0.18-μm CMOS technology, the proposed 10 Gb/s PD consumes 30 mA from a 1.8 V supply, resulting in a lower power consumption for high-speed applications compared to conventional topologies.

In this paper, a switched resistor slicer is proposed to reduce the power consumption of a decision feedback equalizer (DFE). In the proposed structure, summer circuit that consumes most of the power in a DFE has been eliminated and proper resistors are added as the load of a slicer based on a flip-flop output bit stream. Incorporating the proposed DFE circuit with continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) at the serial link receiver over a 1[Formula: see text]m NELCO (the NELCO[Formula: see text] N4000-13 series is an enhanced epoxy resin system engineered to provide both outstanding thermal and high signal speed/low signal loss properties) channel can compensate 24[Formula: see text]dB loss at the Nyquist frequency of 2[Formula: see text]GHz. CTLE is adjusted to compensate 6[Formula: see text]dB of channel loss which remains after utilizing a DFE with three taps. The proposed structure has been designed in 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS technology while consuming 13.5[Formula: see text]mW from 1.8[Formula: see text]V supply at 4[Formula: see text]Gb/s with a bit error rate less than 10[Formula: see text]. The proposed equalizer power consumption is reduced by 43% compared to the conventional circuit.

A multiplying delay-locked loop (MDLL)-based all-digital clock generator with a programmable N/M-ratio frequency multiplication capability for digital SoC is presented. The proposed digital MDLL provides programmable N/M-ratio frequency multiplication using a new high-speed Pseudo-NMOS comparator-based programmable divider with small area and low power consumption. The proposed MDLL clock generator can also provide a de-skew function by eliminating the phase offset problem caused by the propagation delay of the front divider in conventional N/M MDLL architectures. Fabricated in a 0.13-µm 1.2-V CMOS process, the proposed digital MDLL clock generates fully de-skewed output clock frequencies from 0.3 to 1.137 GHz with programmable N/M ratios of N = 1~32 and M = 1~16. It achieves a measured effective peak-to-peak jitter of 12 ps at 1.0 GHz when N/M = 8/1. It occupies an active area of only 0.034 mm2 and consumes a power of 10.3 mW at 1.0 GHz.

This paper presents a new approach based on the use of a Current Steering (CS) technique for the design of fully integrated Gm–C Low Pass Filters (LPF) with sub-Hz to kHz tunable cut-off frequencies and an enhanced power-area-dynamic range trade-off. The proposed approach has been experimentally validated by two different first-order single-ended LPFs designed in a 0.18 µm CMOS technology powered by a 1.0 V single supply: a folded-OTA based LPF and a mirrored-OTA based LPF. The first one exhibits a constant power consumption of 180 nW at 100 nA bias current with an active area of 0.00135 mm2 and a tunable cutoff frequency that spans over 4 orders of magnitude (~100 mHz–152 Hz @ CL = 50 pF) preserving dynamic figures greater than 78 dB. The second one exhibits a power consumption of 1.75 µW at 500 nA with an active area of 0.0137 mm2 and a tunable cutoff frequency that spans over 5 orders of magnitude (~80 mHz–~1.2 kHz @ CL = 50 pF) preserving a dynamic range greater than 73 dB. Compared with previously reported filters, this proposal is a competitive solution while satisfying the low-voltage low-power on-chip constraints, becoming a preferable choice for general-purpose reconfigurable front-end sensor interfaces.

The aim of this work is to tackle the problem of modulation wave shaping in the field of near field communication (NFC) radio frequency identification (RFID). For this purpose, a high-efficiency transmitter circuit was developed to comply with the strict requirements of the newest EMVCo and NFC Forum specifications for pulse shapes. The proposed circuit uses an outphasing modulator that is based on a digital-to-time converter (DTC). The DTC based outphasing modulator supports amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation, operates at four times the 13.56 MHz carrier frequency and is made fully differential in order to remove the parasitic phase modulation components. The accompanying transmitter logic includes lookup tables with programmable modulation pulse wave shapes. The modulator solution uses a 64-cell tapped current controlled fully differential delay locked loop (DLL), which produces a 360° delay at 54.24 MHz, and a glitch-free multiplexor to select the individual taps. The outphased output from the modulator is mixed to create an RF pulse width modulated (PWM) output, which drives the antenna. Additionally, this implementation is fully compatible with D-class amplifiers enabling high efficiency. A test circuit of the proposed differential multi-standard reader’s transmitter was simulated in 40 nm CMOS technology. Stricter pulse shape requirements were easily satisfied, while achieving an output linearity of 0.2 bits and maximum power consumption under 7.5 mW.

A 25-Gb/s clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit with 1:2 demultiplexer which incorporates a quadrature LC voltage-controlled-oscillator and a half-rate bang-bang phase detector is presented in this paper. A quadrature LC VCO is presented to generate the four-phase output clocks. A half-rate phase detector including four flip-flops samples the 25-Gb/s input data every 20 ps and alignes the data phase. The 25-Gb/s data are retimed and demultiplexed into two 12.5-Gb/s output data. The CDR is designed in TSMC 65nm CMOS Technology. Simulation results show that the recovered clock exhibits a peak-to-peak jitter of 0.524ps and the recovered data exhibits a peak-to-peak jitter of 1.2ps. The CDR circuit consumes 121 mW from a 1.2 V supply.
