  • Abstract
    This paper presents a between-pair skew (BPS) compensator for parallel data communications. It can detect time skew between two independent data sequences using continuous-time correlations and then automatically align the two using a wide-bandwidth voltage controlled data delay line. A 5-Gb/s sub-bit BPS compensator in 0.13- μm CMOS occupies approximately 0.038- mm2 active die area and dissipates 22.5 mW.
