    摘要: A receiver is provided that includes a plurality of sub-rate receiver lanes each of which is configured to receive an analog receive signal from an analog front-end and produce digital sub-rate receiver data. The receiver includes one or more first digital-to-analog converters (DACs) (also referred to herein as “average” DACs) shared across the plurality of sub-rate receiver lanes, and one or more second DACs (also referred to herein as “mismatch cancellation” DACs) for each sub-rate receiver lane of the plurality of sub-rate receiver lanes. The one or more second DACs of a respective sub-rate receiver lane provide output to be combined with an output of a corresponding one of the one or more first DACs during processing of the analog receive signal in the respective sub-rate receiver lane to account for a sub-rate receiver lane specific offset with respect to a corresponding one of the one or more first DACs.

    摘要: A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is described. The VCO includes a plurality of nodes coupled with a plurality of transistors, and a first inductor-capacitor (LC) tank coupled with a second LC tank. The first LC tank and the second LC tank include a shared inductor structure coupled to the plurality of nodes. The first LC tank and the second LC tank each include a capacitor. The capacitors are each coupled on a first side to a node of the plurality of nodes and on a second side to a respective capacitor in the other LC tank. The first LC tank and the second LC tank are configured to resonate at a fundamental frequency for differential-mode signals, and the first LC tank and the second LC tank are configured to resonate at twice the fundamental frequency for common-mode signals.

    摘要: An asymmetric signal path approach is used to extract differential signals out of the photodetector (e.g., a photodiode) for amplification by a differential transimpedance amplifier (TIA). This asymmetric-path differential TIA configuration has less low-frequency Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) (also known as Baseline Wander), less high-frequency noise amplification, and higher bandwidth capabilities. There is no power penalty with this design in comparison to a single-ended TIA, can extend the range of the link for a given system power consumption, and can decrease transmitter power for a given range.
