该论文提出了一款采用7nm CMOS工艺的60Gb/s PAM-4 ADC-DSP收发器,通过基于信噪比的自适应功率缩放技术,在32dB信道损耗下实现了6.9pJ/b的能效,解决了高速PAM-4信号传输中功耗效率与性能平衡的问题。

Power management and energy efficiency have become the main drivers for system design. However, industry standards such as EEE have failed to keep up with efficiency demands. In this context the choice between a so-called analog mixed signal (AMS) SerDes architecture vs. an ADC-DSP-based one has been debated at length. AMS provides significantly lower maximum power [2,4] while ADC-DSP provides higher link margin [1] thus avoiding expensive and power hungry repeater ICs that largely negate the power advantage of AMS
