Abstract

In this paper, a 10 Gb/s transmitter implements transmit equalization to address both the emerging SFP+ MSA and the 10GBASE-KR standards. Integrated with a 10 Gb/s Ethernet transceiver along with power-control and temperature-compensation circuitry, the transmitter can also be used as a VCSEL driver in XENPAK/X2 applications, eliminating the need for a separate laser-driver IC. The transmitter is designed in a standard 1.2V/3.3V 0.13 mum CMOS process.
