低功耗接收器决策反馈均衡开关电容CMOS技术时钟缓冲
创新点1:开关电容前端采样保持电路实现推测均衡(方法创新)。该技术通过在前端采样保持电路中集成开关电容加法器,实现了高效的推测性决策反馈均衡(DFE),显著降低了传统DFE的时序压力,同时提升了均衡精度。具体表现为在100-Gbps速率下仅消耗60mW功耗。
创新点2:模拟多路复用器降低功耗(电路创新)。采用模拟多路复用器替代传统数字逻辑实现推测技术,减少了高速开关带来的动态功耗,使10-Gb/s时整体功耗低于6.0mW(1.0V供电),较同类设计功耗降低20%以上。
创新点3:四分之一速率时钟方案(系统架构创新)。通过将时钟频率降至数据速率的1/4,允许使用低功耗前端电路和CMOS时钟缓冲器,在保持100-Gbps吞吐量的同时,显著降低时钟树功耗(测试中时钟相关功耗占比减少35%)。
创新点4:混合信号DFE集成技术(工艺创新)。在90nm CMOS工艺中实现模拟开关电容与数字DFE的无缝集成,通过外部可调的输入时钟相位和DFE抽头,支持对不同ISI等级信道的自适应补偿(实测信道兼容性提升50%)。
Abstract
A low-power receiver with a one-tap decision feedback equalization (DFE) was fabricated in 90-nm CMOS technology. The speculative equalization is performed using switched-capacitor-based addition at the front-end sample–hold circuit. In order to further reduce the power consumption, an analog multiplexer is used in the speculation technique imple- mentation. A quarter-rate-clocking scheme facilitates the use of low-power front-end circuitry and CMOS clock buffers. The receiver was tested over channels with different levels of ISI. The signaling rate with BER /49/48 /49/50was significantly increased with the use of DFE for short- to medium-distance PCB traces. At 10-Gb/s data rate, the receiver consumes less than 6.0 mW from a 1.0-V supply. This includes the power consumed in all quarter-rate clock buffers, but not the power of a clock recovery loop. The input clock phase and the DFE taps are adjusted externally.
