  • Abstract
    A 4.9 to 6.4 Gb/s 2-level SerDes ASIC I/O core designed in 0.13 μm CMOS uses a 4-tap FFE in the transmitter and a 5-tap DFE with receiver AGC. Error-free operation is achieved on channels with over 30 dB loss at the half-baud rate. The TXRX pair consumes 290 mW from a 1.2 V supply and uses a die area of 0.79 mm2.
