Design and Implementation of Open‐Loop Clock Recovery Circuit for 39.8 Gb/s and 42.8 Gb/s Dual‐Mode Operation

This paper proposes an open‐loop clock recovery circuit (CRC) using two high‐Q dielectric resonator (DR) filters for 39.8 Gb/s and 42.8 Gb/s dual‐mode operation. The DR filters are fabricated to obtain high Q‐values of approximately 950 at the 40 GHz band and to suppress spurious resonant modes up to 45 GHz. The CRC is implemented in a compact module by integrating the DR filters with other circuits in the CRC. The peak‐to‐peak and RMS jitter values of the clock signals recovered from 39.8 Gb/s and 42.8 Gb/s pseudo‐random binary sequence (PRBS) data with a word length of 2³¹?1 are less than 2.0 ps and 0.3 ps, respectively. The peak‐to‐peak amplitudes of the recovered clocks are quite stable and within the range of 2.5 V to 2.7 V, even when the input data signals vary from 150 mV to 500 mV. Error‐free operation of the 40 Gb/s‐class optical receiver with the dual‐mode CRC is confirmed at both 39.8 Gb/s and 42.8 Gb/s data rates.     

SiGe clock and data recovery IC with linear-type PLL for 10-Gb/sSONET application

An integrated 10 Gb/s clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit is fabricated using SiGe technology, It consists of a linear-type phase-locked loop (PLL) based on a single-edge version of the Hogge phase detector, a LC-tank voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a tri-state charge pump. A PLL equivalent model and design method to meet SONET jitter requirements are presented. The CDR was tested at 9.529 GB/s in full operation and up to 13.25 Gb/s in data recovery mode. Sensitivity is 14 mV_pp at a bit error rate (BER)=10^-9 . The measured recovered clock jitter is less than 1 ps RMS. The IC dissipates 1.5 W with a -5 V power supply     

Clock and data recovery IC for 40-Gb/s fiber-optic receiver

The integrated clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit is a key element for broad-band optical communication systems at 40 Gb/s. We report a 40-Gb/s CDR fabricated in indium-phosphide heterojunction bipolar transistor (InP HBT) technology using a robust architecture of a phase-locked loop (PLL) with a digital early-late phase detector. The faster InP HBT technology allows the digital phase detector to operate at the full data rate of 40 Gb/s. This, in turn, reduces the circuit complexity (transistor count) and the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) requirements. The IC includes an on-chip LC VCO, on-chip clock dividers to drive an external demultiplexer, and low-frequency PLL control loop and on-chip limiting amplifier buffers for the data and clock I/O. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a mixed-signal IC operating at the clock rate of 40 GHz. We also describe the chip architecture and measurement results.     

A 39-to-45-Gbit/s multi-data-rate clock and data recovery circuit with a robust lock detector

We describe a 40-Gbit/s-class clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit with an extremely wide pull-in range. A Darlington-type voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is newly designed to cover the STM-256/OC-768 full-rate-clock frequencies with a wide frequency margin. We also describe a new lock detector using an exclusive-NOR gate. The CDR IC was fabricated using InP/InGaAs HBTs. Error-free operation and wide eye opening were confirmed for 40-, 43-, and 45-Gbit/s PRBS with a word length of 2/sup 31/ - 1. We attached a frequency search and phase control (FSPC) circuit to the chip as a new frequency acquisition aid, and this allows the CDR circuit to pull in throughout a 39-45-Gbit/s range. The peak-to-peak and rms jitter of the recovered clock were 3.6 and 0.48 ps, respectively.

A 2.5-Gb/s fully-integrated, low-power clock and recovery circuit in 0.18-μm CMOS

Based on the devised system-level design methodology, a 2.5-Gb/s monolithic bang-bang phase-locked clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit has been designed and fabricated in SMIC's 0.18-μm CMOS technology. The Pottbacker phase frequency detector and a differential 4-stage inductorless ring VCO are adopted, where an additional current source is added to the VCO cell to improve the linearity of the VCO characteristic. The CDR has an active area of 340 × 440μm2, and consumes a power of only about 60 mW from a 1.8 V supply voltage, with an input sensitivity of less than 25 mV, and an output single-ended swing of more than 300 mV. It has a pull-in range of 800 MHz, and a phase noise of-111.54 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset. The CDR works reliably at any input data rate between 1.8 Gb/s and 2.6 Gb/s without any need for reference clock, off-chip tuning, or external components.     

A Wide-Tracking Range Clock and Data Recovery Circuit

A hybrid analog-digital quarter-rate clock and data recovery circuit (CDR) that achieves a wide-tracking range and excellent frequency and phase tracking resolution is presented in this paper. A split-tuned analog phase-locked loop (PLL) provides eight equally spaced phases needed for quarter-rate data recovery and the digital CDR loop adjusts the phase of the PLL output clocks in a precise manner to facilitate plesiochronous clocking. The CDR employs a second-order digital loop filter and combines delta-sigma modulation with the analog PLL to achieve sub-picosecond phase resolution and better than 2 ppm frequency resolution. A test chip fabricated in a 0.18 mum CMOS process achieves BER <10^-12 and consumes 14 mW power while operating at 2 Gb/s. The tracking range is greater than plusmn5000 ppm and plusmn2500 ppm at 10 kHz and 20 kHz modulation frequencies, respectively, making this CDR suitable for systems employing spread-spectrum clocking.     

Fast acquisition clock and data recovery circuit with low jitter

This paper presents a half-rate clock and data recovery circuit (CDR)that combines the fast acquisition of a phase selection (PS) delay-locked loop (DLL) with the low jitter of a phase-locked loop (PLL). The PLL acquisition time improves considerably with use of a phase frequency magnitude detector(PFMD) that feeds back an estimate of the magnitude of the frequency difference in addition to the sign. Measurements in 0.5/spl mu/m CMOS technology show operation up to 700 Mb/s, a 7% acquisition range, an initial acquisition time of 8 bit times with jitter of 30% bit time, and jitter of 16 ps after the PLL acquires lock. With a phase frequency detector (PFD), the PLL locks in about 700 ns from an initial frequency difference of 7%. Measurements using a PFMD show the 700 ns PLL acquisition time is reduced on average by about a factor of 5 to 140 ns from an initial 7% frequency difference. The power dissipation is 300mW.

A 2.5 Gb/s Run-Length-Tolerant Burst-Mode CDR Based on a 1/8th-Rate Dual Pulse Ring Oscillator

A 2.5 Gb/s burst-mode clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit is presented that uses a 1/8th-rate ring oscillator with two pulses running simultaneously that are phase independent. One “tune” pulse sets the delay of the ring by phase locking it to a reference. The other “clock” pulse tracks the phase of the incoming data by a process of pulse removal and reinsertion. Because both pulses share the same ring, there is no frequency mismatch between the incoming data stream and the recovered clock in frequency synchronous systems, allowing for large data run lengths. A 1:8 data-demux clock is naturally generated by tapping the clock pulse along the ring. Phase acquisition is instantaneous from a single data edge. Run length tolerance is larger than 72 bits. The 0.6 mm$^{2}$ 0.13 $mu$m CMOS chip includes a CML-to-CMOS input buffer, PLL with on-chip loop filter, PRBS checker, 1:8 data demux, and eight output buffers. It has 2.7 ${rm UI}_{rm pp}$ measured jitter tolerance at 100 kHz and consumes 42 mW from a single 1.2 V supply.

Prescaled clock recovery based on small timing misalignment of datapulses

A simple and robust prescaled clock recovery technique is analyzed and demonstrated. An electrical clock is extracted from an ultra-high-speed time-division multiplexed (TDM) RZ signal using a “classic” approach to clock recovery with a detector and a bandpass filter (BPF). A subharmonic tone at the base rate frequency is generated by inducing a small misalignment between adjacent pulses in the transmitted data. The subharmonic tone is recovered as a clock signal at the receiver. Numerical calculations clarify the effect of filter bandwidth, word length, and strength of timing shift on the received timing jitter. Furthermore, it is found numerically that correlated TDM channels will decrease the jitter of the recovered clock considerably. A clock recovery circuit is implemented into an experimental 40 Gb/s and 80 Gb/s optical TDM (O-TDM) system without any observed penalty. Measurements of the timing jitter of the recovered prescaled clock have been performed to verify the numerical results. A 10 GHz clock signal with subpicosecond root-mean-square timing jitter is recovered from a 40-Gb/s O-TDM sequence without a phase-locked loop (PLL) configuration. By using a PLL-configuration, the timing jitter is reduced further by 50%. A discussion on the influence on transmission capacity is performed in general and for nonlinear optical communication systems in particular     

Clock synchronization for packet networks using a weighted least‐squares error filtering technique and enabling circuit emulation service

Circuit emulation service (CES) allows time‐division multiplexing (TDM) services (T1/E1 and T3/E3 circuits) to be transparently extended across a packet network. With circuit emulation over IP, for instance, TDM data received from an external device at the edge of an IP network is converted to IP packets, sent through the IP network, passed out of the IP network to its destination, and reassembled into TDM bit stream. Clock synchronization is very important for CES. This paper presents a clock synchronization scheme based on a double exponential filtering technique and a linear process model. The linear process model is used to describe the behaviour of clock synchronization errors between a transmitter and a receiver. In the clock synchronization scheme, the transmitter periodically sends explicit time indications or timestamps to a receiver to enable the receiver to synchronize its local clock to the transmitter's clock. A phase‐locked loop (PLL) at the receiver processes the transmitted timestamps to generate timing signal for the receiver. The PLL has a simple implementation and provides both fast responsiveness (i.e. fast acquisition of transmitter frequency at a receiver) and significant jitter reduction in the locked state.
