A 3.125-Gb/s clock and data recovery circuit for the 10-Gbase-LX4 Ethernet

A 3.125-Gb/s clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit using a half-rate digital quadricorrelator frequency detector and a shifted-averaging voltage-controlled oscillator is presented for 10-Gbase-LX4 Ethernet. It can achieve low-jitter operation and improve pull-in range without a reference clock. This CDR circuit has been fabricated in a standard 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. It occupies an active area of 0.6 /spl times/ 0.8 mm/sup 2/ and consumes 83 mW from a single 1.8-V supply. The measured bit-error rate is less than 10/sup -12/ for 2/sup 7/ - 1 PRBS 3.125-Gb/s data. It can meet the jitter tolerance specifications for the 10-Gbase-LX4 Ethernet application.     

A 40-Gb/s clock and data recovery circuit in 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology

A phase-locked clock and data recovery circuit incorporates a multiphase LC oscillator and a quarter-rate bang-bang phase detector. The oscillator is based on differential excitation of a closed-loop transmission line at evenly spaced points, providing half-quadrature phases. The phase detector employs eight flip-flops to sample the input every 12.5 ps, detecting data transitions while retiming and demultiplexing the data into four 10-Gb/s outputs. Fabricated in 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology, the circuit produces a clock jitter of 0.9 ps/sub rms/ and 9.67 ps/sub pp/ with a PRBS of 2/sup 31/-1 while consuming 144 mW from a 2-V supply.     

A 20-Gb/s 0.13-/spl mu/m CMOS serial link transmitter using an LC-PLL to directly drive the output multiplexer

A 20-Gb/s transmitter is implemented in 0.13-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. An on-die 10-GHz LC oscillator phase-locked loop (PLL) creates two sinusoidal 10-GHz complementary clock phases as well as eight 2.5-GHz interleaved feedback divider clock phases. After a 2/sup 20/-1 pseudorandom bit sequence generator (PRBS) creates eight 2.5-Gb/s data streams, the eight 2.5-GHz interleaved clocks 4:1 multiplex the eight 2.5-Gb/s data streams to two 10-Gb/s data streams. 10-GHz analog sample-and-hold circuits retime the two 10-Gb/s data streams to be in phase with the 10-GHz complementary clocks. Two-tap equalization of the 10-Gb/s data streams compensate for bandwidth rolloff of the 10-Gb/s data outputs at the 10-GHz analog latches. A final 20-Gb/s 2:1 output multiplexer, clocked by the complementary 10-GHz clock phases, creates 20-Gb/s data from the two retimed 10-Gb/s data streams. The LC-VCO is integrated with the output multiplexer and analog latches, resonating the load and eliminating the need for clock buffers, reducing power supply induced jitter and static phase mismatch. Power, active die area, and jitter (rms/pk-pk) are 165 mW, 650 /spl mu/m/spl times/350 /spl mu/m, and 2.37 ps/15 ps, respectively.     

A 4-Gb/s CMOS clock and data recovery circuit using 1/8-rate clock technique

A 4-Gb/s clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit is realized in a 0.25-/spl mu/m standard CMOS technology. The CDR circuit exploits 1/8-rate clock technique to facilitate the design of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and to eliminate the need of 1:4 demultiplexer, thereby achieving low power consumption. The VCO incorporates the ring oscillator configuration with active inductor loads, generating four half-quadrature clocks. The VCO control line comprises both a programmable 6-bit digital coarse control and a folded differential fine control through a charge-pump and a low pass filter. Duty-cycle correction of clock signals is obtained by exploiting a high common-mode rejection ratio differential amplifier at the ring oscillator output. A 1/8-rate linear phase detector accomplishes the phase error detection with no systematic phase offset and inherently performs the 1:4 demultiplexing. Test chips demonstrate the jitter of the recovered clock to be 5.2 ps rms and 47 ps pk-pk for 2/sup 31/-1 pseudorandom bit sequence (PRBS) input data. The phase noise is measured to be -112 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset. The measured bit error rate is less than 10/sup -6/ for 2/sup 31/-1 PRBS. The chip excluding output buffers dissipates 70 mW from a single 2.5-V supply.     

Fully electrical 40-Gb/s TDM system prototype based on InP HEMTdigital IC technologies

This paper presents a fully electrical 40-Gb/s time-division-multiplexing (TDM) system prototype transmitter and receiver. The input and output interface of the prototype are four-channel 10-Gb/s signals. The prototype can be mounted on a 300-mm-height rack and offers stable 40-Gb/s operation with a single power supply voltage. InP high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) digital IC's perform 40-Gb/s multiplexing/demultiplexing and regeneration. In the receiver prototype, unitraveling-carrier photodiode (UTC-PD) generates 1 V_pp output and directly drives the InP HEMT decision circuit (DEC) without any need for an electronic amplifier. A clock recovery circuit recovers a 40-GHz clock with jitter of 220 fs_pp from a 40-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) optical input. The tolerable dispersion range of the prototype within a 1-dB penalty from the receiver sensitivity at zero-dispersion is as wide as 95 ps/nm, and the clock phase margin is wider than 70° over almost all the tolerable dispersion range. A 100-km-long transmission experiment was performed using the prototype. A high receiver sensitivity [-25.1 dBm for NRZ (2⁷-1) pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS)] was obtained after the transmission. The 40-Gb/s regeneration of the InP DEC suppressed the deviation in sensitivity among output channels to only 0.3 dB. In addition, four-channel 40-Gb/s wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) transmission was successfully performed     

High-Performance Optical 3R Regeneration for Scalable Fiber Transmission System Applications

This paper proposes and demonstrates optical 3R regeneration techniques for high-performance and scalable 10-Gb/s transmission systems. The 3R structures rely on monolithically integrated all-active semiconductor optical amplifier-based Mach-Zehnder interferometers (SOA-MZIs) for signal reshaping and optical narrowband filtering using a Fabry-Peacuterot filter (FPF) for all-optical clock recovery. The experimental results indicate very stable operation and superior cascadability of the proposed optical 3R structure, allowing error-free and low-penalty 10-Gb/s [pseudorandom bit sequence (PRBS) 2²³-1 ] return-to-zero (RZ) transmission through a record distance of 1 250 000 km using 10 000 optical 3R stages. Clock-enhancement techniques using a SOA-MZI are then proposed to accommodate the clock performance degradations that arise from dispersion uncompensated transmission. Leveraging such clock-enhancement techniques, we experimentally demonstrate error-free 125 000-km RZ dispersion uncompensated transmission at 10 Gb/s (PRBS 2²³-1) using 1000 stages of optical 3R regenerators spaced by 125-km large-effective-area fiber spans. To evaluate the proposed optical 3R structures in a relatively realistic environment and to investigate the tradeoff between the cascadability and the spacing of the optical 3R, a fiber recirculation loop is set up with 264- and 462-km deployed fiber. The field-trial experiment achieves error-free 10-Gb/s RZ transmission using PRBS 2²³-1 through 264 000-km deployed fiber across 1000 stages of optical 3R regenerators spaced by 264-km spans

The circuit creates spectral line at the frequency of data rate and injection-locks two cascaded LC oscillators. A frequency-monitoring mechanism is employed to ensure a close matching between the VCO natural frequency and data rate. Fabricated in 90-nm CMOS technology, this circuit achieves a bit error rate of less than 10^-9 in both continuous (PRBS of 2³¹-1) and burst modes while consuming 175 mW from a 1.5-V supply.     

Burst-mode clock and data recovery in optical multiaccess networks using broad-band PLLs

Broad-band phase-locked loops (PLLs) are proposed for burst-mode clock and data recovery in optical multiaccess networks. Design parameters for a charge-pump PLL-based clock and data recovery (CDR) with fast phase acquisition are derived using a time-domain model that does not assume narrow loop bandwidth or small phase errors. Implementation in a half-rate CDR circuit confirms a clock phase acquisition time of 40 ns, or 100 bits at 2.488-Gb/s rate, and data recovery at 1.244-Gb/s rate with a bit-error rate of 1/spl times/10/sup -10/ (2/sup 14/-1 pseudorandom binary sequence with Manchester-encoding). The CDR was fabricated in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor 0.18-/spl mu/m technology in an area of 1/spl times/1 mm/sup 2/ and consumes 54 mW of power from a 1.8-V supply.

The circuit meets SONET OC-192 jitter specifications with a measured jitter of 8 ps p-p when performing error-free recovery of PRBS 2/sup 31/-1 data. Clock and data recovery (CDR) is achieved at 10 Gb/s, demonstrating the feasibility of a half-rate early/late PD (with tri-state) based CDR on 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS. The 1.9/spl times/1.5 mm/sup 2/ IC (not including output buffers) consumes 285 mW from a 1.8-V supply.
