Abstract
A quarter-rate PAM-4 FFE employing INCC 1UIPG is implemented in 65 nm CMOS. The proposed INNC 1UIPG reduces the average transition time by ~20%, saving clocking power consumption by ~1.5X, lowering jitter amplification by about 2~5 dB compared with previous works. Along with the bandwidth- and power-efficient partially segmented tailless 1-stage front-end architecture, the proposed FFE achieves 128Gbps PAM-4 data rate with a 0.014 mm2 area.
