Electrical and optical transceivers for short-range data communication, fabricated in VLSI 90-nm bulk and SOI CMOS technology

This paper presents a comprehensive overview on our recent high-speed high-density links designs in 90-nm bulk and SOI CMOS. A 12.5 GByte/s link macro is described. The macro consists of 10 channels at 12.5 Gb/s each. For very short links, i.e. on multi chip modules (MCM), a 20 Gb/s PAM4 transmitter...

Description
Summary:This paper presents a comprehensive overview on our recent high-speed high-density links designs in 90-nm bulk and SOI CMOS. A 12.5 GByte/s link macro is described. The macro consists of 10 channels at 12.5 Gb/s each. For very short links, i.e. on multi chip modules (MCM), a 20 Gb/s PAM4 transmitter and receiver is presented. Longer links can be realized by a low-power 4/spl times/10 Gb/s optical extension, also fabricated in CMOS.
