Title
Session 6 overview: Ultra-high-speed wireline
Abstract
The continuous growth of the internet and of big data infrastructure drives the ever-increasing demand for data communication bandwidth between chips. In this context, wireline transceiver data rate, energy efficiency, and area are extremely critical. This session introduces two transceivers operating at 56Gb/s PAM-4 and 60Gb/s NRZ. It continues with a presentation of a 40–56Gb/s PAM-4 receiver with 10-tap direct decision feedback equalization in 16nm FinFET. Two papers presenting high-data-rate, low-power PAM-4 transmitter designs are presented next, including a 64Gb/s design with a 4-tap FFE in 28nm FDSOI CMOS, and a 56Gb/s design with fractionally spaced FFE in 14nm CMOS. Finally, the session concludes with two papers describing receivers at or beyond 28Gb/s, including a reference-less baud-rate CDR with DFE and CTLE in 28nm CMOS and a digital CDR with adaptive loop gain for optimum jitter tolerance.
