A 15Gb/s AC-coupled VCSEL Driver with Waveform Shaping in 65nm CMOS

چکیده
A Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) driver in 65nm CMOS selectively-enables parallel low-power CMOS drivers to shape the output current waveforms and compensate VCSEL nonlinearities. The CMOS waveform-shaping drivers are AC-coupled allowing them to operate from a 1-V supply to save power, while parallel low-frequency paths provide programmable DC biasing from a 3-V supply. The measured VCSEL driver is able to achieve 15Gb/s with up to 5.1dBm OMA at a total power dissipation of 60mW, or 2.1dBm OMA at 28mW corresponding to 1.9pJ/bit. The driver occupies 250 × 160μm including the on-die AC-coupling.

Optical Links in 90nm CMOS
Future high-performance computing systems require sub-2pJ/bit power efficiencies at >10Gb/s [1-2]. The best reported optical link efficiencies at these data rates are ≥2.5pJ/bit [1-4]. This paper describes two VCSEL-based multimode (MM) fiber optical links achieving sub-2pJ/bit power efficiency from 15Gb/s to 22Gb/s. The links realized in 90nm CMOS share the same TX but use two different RXs th...

متن کاملCMOS Circuits for VCSEL - Based Optical
Electrical IO is becoming limited by copper interconnect channel losses that depend on frequency and distance. Package-to-package optical interconnects see negligible frequency-dependent channel losses, but data rates are limited by the intrinsic optical dynamics and electrical parasitics of the optical devices. This thesis presents 90nm CMOS front-end circuits which apply techniques to operate...
