An 11.05 mW/Gbps Quad-Channel 1.25-10.3125 Gbps Serial Transceiver With a 2-Tap Adaptive DFE and a 3-Tap Transmit FFE in 40 nm CMOS

A 1-Tap 40-Gbps Look-ahead Decision Feedback Equalizer in 0.18μm SiGe BiCMOS Technology

This paper describes a fully-differential 1-Tap decision feedback equalizer (DFE) in 0.18μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The circuit is capable of equalizing NRZ data up to 40 Gbps. A look-ahead architecture is used with modifications to reduce complexity in the high speed clock distribution. An analog differential voltage controls the tap weights. The design is fabricated in 0.18μm SiGe BiCMOS tech...

A 50 MHz 70 mW & Tap Adaptive EqualizerlViterbi Sequence Detector in 1 . 2 pm CMOS

A new architecture for digital implementation of the adaptive equalizer in Class IV Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) channels employing parallelism and pipelining is described. The architecture was used in a prototype integrated circuit in a 1.2 pm CMOS technology to implement a 50 MHz adaptive equalizer and Viterbi sequence detector dissipating 70 mW from a 3.3 V supply. 1 .O Introdu...

Adaptive Tap Equations

We develop a TAP mean eld approach to models with quadratic interactions which does not assume a speciic randomness of the couplings but rather adapts to the concrete data. The method is based on an extra set of mean eld equations for the Onsager correction term to the naive mean eld result. We present applications for the Hoppeld model and for a Bayesian classiier. 1.1 Introduction Mean eld (M...

315MHz OOK transceiver with 38-µW receiver and 36-µW transmitter in 40-nm CMOS

Tap, tap, tap to better patient documentation.

Dr. Greg Hinson is in the minority. He's among the meager 13 percent of physicians in solo practice who use electronic medical records, according to a recent Commonwealth Fund survey. But Hinson is comfortable being apart from the madding crowd. He knew electronic record keeping would be the ticket to efficiencies in his practice so he traded in his hodgepodge of inadequate record-keeping techn...
