Aeluros, Mountain View, CA The demand for higher speed and port densities in data networks has resulted in multiple 10Gb/s serial communication standards. For optical networks, this demand has spurred the development of optical-module multi-source agreements (MSA) with steadily shrinking costs and form factors as shown by the migration from XENPAK/X2 [1, 2], to XFP [3], and now to SFP+ [4]. The transmission of serial 10Gb/s data over copper backplanes is also being standardized as IEEE 10GBASE-KR [5]. In this paper, a 10Gb/s transmitter implements transmit equalization to address both the emerging SFP+ MSA and the 10GBASE-KR standards. Integrated with a 10Gb/s Ethernet transceiver along with powercontrol and temperature-compensation circuitry, the transmitter can also be used as a VCSEL driver in XENPAK/X2 applications, eliminating the need for a separate laser-driver IC [6]. The transmitter is designed in a standard 1.2V/3.3V 0.13μm CMOS
