Title
A compact spatially configurable differential input stage for a field programmable interconnection network
Abstract
This paper presents a spatially configurable input stage for differential-to-single ended conversion enabling signal propagation through single ended field programmable interconnection networks. The input stage uses current mode sensing for differential-to-single ended conversion. Compared to voltage mode sensing, it can support higher common-mode input voltage. Post-layout Monte-Carlo simulations show that the input stage can support data rates of up to 2 Gbps and 1 Gbps for an input common-mode voltage of 1.2-1.6 V and 1.2-2.0 V respectively. The input stage was laid out in a mature 0.13 μm CMOS technology and reported results demonstrate that the occupied silicon area is 22 times smaller than that required by a differential input stage based on unity-gain buffer multiplexers.
