OC-192 transmitter and receiver in standard 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS

This paper presents the first fully integrated SONET OC-192 transmitter and receiver fabricated in a standard 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS process. The transmitter consists of an input data register, 16-b-wide first-in-first-out (FIFO) circuit, clock multiplier unit (CMU), and 16:1 multiplexer to give a 10-Gb/s serial output. The receiver integrates an input amplifier for 10-Gb/s data, clock and data recovery circuit (CDR), 1:16 demultiplexer, and drivers for low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) outputs. An on-chip LC-type voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is employed by both the transmitter and receiver. The chipset operates at multiple data rates (9.95-10.71 Gb/s) with functionality compatible with the multisource agreement (MSA) for 10-Gb transponders. Both chips demonstrate SONET-compliant jitter characteristics. The transmitter 10.66-GHz output clock jitter is 0.065 UI/sub pp/ (unit interval, peak-to-peak) over a 50-kHz-80-MHz bandwidth. The receiver jitter tolerance is more than 0.4 UI/sub pp/ at high frequencies (4-80 MHz). A high level of integration and low-power consumption is achieved by using a standard CMOS process. The transmitter and receiver dissipate a total power of 1.32 W at 1.8 V and are packaged in a plastic ball grid array with a footprint of 11/spl times/11 mm/sup 2/.

A fully integrated SONET OC-48 transceiver in standard CMOS

This paper presents the first fully integrated, SONET OC-48 (2.488/2.666 Gb/s) transceiver using a standard CMOS process. Careful design methodology combined with a standard CMOS technology allows performance exceeding SONET requirements with the added benefits of reduced power dissipation, higher integration levels, and simplified manufacturability as compared to other fabrication technologies. This chip, designed using a standard 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology, has a total power dissipation of 500 mW and an rms jitter of 1 ps.

A fully integrated SONET OC-192 transmitter IC using a standard CMOS process consists of an input data register, FIFO, CMU, and 16:1 multiplexer to give a 10Gb/s serial output. A higher FEC rate, 10.7Gb/s, is supported. This chip, using a 0.18/spl mu/m process, exceeds SONET requirements, dissipating 450mW.

A Fully Integrated 10-Gb/s Receiver With Adaptive Optical Dispersion Equalizer in 0.13-

A 10 Gb/s receiver, containing an adaptive equalizer, a clock and data recovery, and a de-multiplexer, is implemented in 0.13-mum CMOS. The chip is intended for long-haul optical fiber links where chromatic and polarization mode dispersions are reach-limiting factors. The equalization is performed by a continuous time filter and a two-tap decision feedback equalizer while automatic threshold and phase adjustments are embedded in the CDR. Use of an analog equalizer with digital adaptation garners total power dissipation of 950 mW. Error-free operation over 200 km of single mode fiber is demonstrated. With 140 km of single mode fiber, optical signal to noise ratio penalty is only 2dB. Differential group delay of 100 ps can also be tolerated

It has been well understood that the digital clock and data recovery (CDR) architecture has many system merits over the analog counterpart for multi-Gb/s transceivers [1]. However, the applications have been limited in systems where the clock is forwarded or has small frequency offset [2, 3], due to the finite frequency and jitter tracking capability of the digitally controlled phase rotation. Recently, tracking range up to ±7800ppm has been reported [4] to extend the applications to the SATA/SAS interfaces that require 5000ppm spread spectrum clocking (SSC) to suppress electromagnetic emissions. To enable broad acceptance in high-speed applications, the digital CDRs must have much wider tracking range.
