Abstract

This paper presents a 36 Gb/s (23.04 GBaud) 3-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-3) receiver (RX). The proposed inductor-reused continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) uses feedforward and inductive peaking techniques. Additionally, the number of the data slicers is reduced in the PAM-3 receiver with a loop-unrolled decision feedback equalizer (DFE). Furthermore, a baud-rate phase detector (BRPD) is presented. Fabricated in 22-nm CMOS technology, this receiver compensates for a channel loss of 20.5 dB at 11.52 GHz, achieving a bit error rate (BER) of less than

$10^{-12} $

with a pseudo-random ternary sequence (PRTS) of

$3^{7}\mathbf {-}1$

. The measured clock integrated jitter is 267 fsrms at 720 MHz, and the retimed data exhibits 10.98 pspp jitter. The overall receiver consumes 51.7 mW, with a calculated energy efficiency of 1.44 pJ/b and a figure of merit (FoM) of 0.07 pJ/b/dB.

采用电感复用CTLE和一接环展开DFE的0.07 pJ/b/dB - 36gb /s PAM-3接收机

本文提出了一种36gb /s （23.04 GBaud）三电平脉冲调幅（PAM-3）接收机（RX）。所提出的电感复用连续时间线性均衡器（CTLE）采用前馈和感应调峰技术。此外，PAM-3接收机中的数据切片器的数量通过环展开决策反馈均衡器（DFE）减少。此外，还提出了一种波特率鉴相器（BRPD）。该接收机采用22纳米CMOS技术制造，补偿了11.52 GHz时20.5 dB的信道损耗，以3^{7}\mathbf{-}1$的伪随机三元序列（PRTS）实现了小于10^{-12}$的误码率（BER）。测量到的时钟集成抖动在720 MHz时为267 fsrms，重定时数据显示10.98 pspp的抖动。整个接收器的功耗为51.7 mW，计算出的能量效率为1.44 pJ/b，性能值（FoM）为0.07 pJ/b/dB。
