Session 19 overview: 20+ Gb/s wireline transceivers and injection-locked clocking: Wireline subcommittee

摘要

In an effort to keep pace with increasing data demands, standards such as 100GBe and OIF CEI-25G are evolving to require the transmission of ever-higher data rates through existing channels. Faster data rates extending electrical and optical communication capabilities can only be achieved with advancements in equalization architectures, equalization circuits, and signal modulation schemes. Additionally, stringent timing and power requirements push the need for ultra-low jitter clocks, demanding innovative techniques such as injection locking. This session includes three papers demonstrating 28Gb/s transceivers for backplane and chip-to-chip applications, as well as two papers describing optical transceivers supporting advanced modulation schemes for communication beyond 40Gb/s. Also described in the session is a multi-mode transceiver capable of 20+ Gb/s data transfers over plastic, copper, and short-reach wireless channels. The final two papers in the session discuss self-calibrated and fractional-N-suitable injection-locking techniques, respectively.
