Towards High Data-Rate and Bandwidth-Efficient Integrated Wireless Transceivers

Direct - Conversion CMOS

The 7GHz unlicensed band around 60GHz provides the possibility of gigabit-per-second wireless communications. In addition to satisfying speed-intensive applications, such high data rates can also reduce the energy dissipated per bit because the power consumption of RF transceivers has historically increased sublinearly with the data rate. Moreover, the millimeter wavelength permits the integrat...

A 25Gb/s 170μW/Gb/s Optical Receiver in 28nm CMOS for Chip-to-Chip Optical Communication

A low-power high-speed optical receiver in 28nm CMOS is presented. The design features a novel architecture combining a low-bandwidth TIA front-end, double-sampling technique and dynamic offset modulation. The low-bandwidth TIA increases receiver’s sensitivity while adding minimal power overhead. Functionality of the receiver was validated and the design is compared with a conventional 3-stage ...

ISSCC 2008 / SESSION 5 / HIGH - SPEED TRANSCEIVERS / 5 . 3 5 . 3 A 20 Gb /

The ever growing volume of backplane communications pushes the data rate toward 20Gb/s for the next-generation transceivers. Over the years, chip designers have been seeking different data formats to overcome the loss of electrical channels. Among the existing solutions, duobinary signaling manifests itself in bandwidth efficiency as (1) its spectrum occupies only half as wide as that of NRZ da...
