Design Techniques for High-Speed Multi-Level Viterbi Detectors and Trellis-Coded-Modulation Decoders

Andreas Peter Burg, Lukas Kull, Thomas Toifl, Giovanni Cherubini

The implementation of a 25.6-Gb/s four-level pulse-amplitude-modulation (4-PAM) reduced-state sliding-block Viterbi detector (VD) is presented. The power consumption of the VD is 105 orilV at a supply voltage of 0.7 V, corresponding to an energy efficiency ...

Adaptive Receiver Design for High Speed Optical Communication

Ilter Ozkaya

Conventional input/output (IO) links consume power, independent of changes in the bandwidth demand by the system they are deployed in. As the system is designed to satisfy the peak bandwidth demand, most of the time the IO links are idle but still consumin ...

Automated Integration of Dual-Edge Clocking for Low-Power Operation in Nanometer Nodes

Andreas Peter Burg, Nicholas Alexander Preyss, Andrea Bonetti, Adam Shmuel Teman

Clocking power, including both clock distribution and registers, has long been one of the primary factors in the total power consumption of many digital systems. One straightforward approach to reduce this power consumption is to apply dual-edge-triggered ...

A 64-Gb/s 1.4-pJ/b NRZ Optical Receiver Data-Path in 14-nm CMOS FinFET

Yusuf Leblebici, Alessandro Cevrero, Lukas Kull, Thomas Toifl, Ilter Ozkaya

A 64-Gb/s high-sensitivity non-return to zero receiver (RX) data-path is demonstrated in the 14-nm-bulk FinFET CMOS technology. To achieve high sensitivity, the RX incorporates a transimpedance amplifier whose gain and bandwidth are co-optimized with a 1-t ...
