Abstract :
We first review the signaling and jitter requirements for emerging high-speed wireline communication standards at ~10 Gbps, including CEI 11G, XLAUI/CAUI, XFI, and SFP+. We then present an FPGA transceiver architecture and subsystem/circuit blocks for clocking and timing generation, transmitter buffer, and receiver CDR and DFE, all designed and manufactured with 40-nm process node. Lastly, we present the signal/jitter transmitter output and receiver-tolerance measurement results at 10.3125 Gbps, with an ultra-low random jitter at ~550 fs.
