A 24Gb/s Software Programmable Multi-Channel Transmitter
Abstract
| A 24Gb/s transmitter with a digital linear equalizer is implemented in 90nm CMOS technology. It supports 4-channel Analog Multi-Tone (AMT) transmission, where each channel supports 3GSym/Sec 4PAM data, as well as a variety of baseband (BB) modes ranging from 2 PAM to 256 PAM. The transmitter operates at maximum rate of 24Gb/s, dissipating 510mW of power in 0.8mm2. |
