摘要: A 25 Gbit/s clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit with 1:2 demultiplexer for 100 Gbit/s Ethernet (100 GbE) optical interconnects has been designed and fabricated in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacture Company (TSMC) 65nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. A novel quadrature voltage-controlled-oscillator (QVCO) structure adopts two pairs of transconductance cell and inverters to acquire rail-to-rail output swing. A half-rate bang-bang phase detector adopts four flip-flops array to sample the 25 Gbit/s input data and align the data phase, so the 25 Gbit/s data are retimed and demultiplexed into two paths 12.5 Gbit/s output data. Experimental results show that the recovered clock exhibits a peak-to-peak jitter of 7.39 ps and the recovered data presents a peak-to-peak jitter of 7.56 ps, in response to pseudorandom bit sequence (PRBS) input. For 1.2 V voltage supply, the CDR circuit consumes 92 mW (excluding output buffers).
