  • Abstract
    A low-power pre-emphasis voltage mode transmitter architecture with output swing control, pre-emphasis coefficient control, and online impedance calibration is proposed and demonstrated. A 65nm LP CMOS implementation of this architecture dissipates only ~10mW from a 1.2V supply when transmitting 10Gb/s 400mV differential peak-to-peak data with 2-tap pre-emphasis, achieving 1pJ/bit energy efficiency.
