A 680 Mb/s Error Monitor for Fibre Optic Links

An IC which performs DSV error monitoring and clock and data fail detection in an optical fibre transmission system is described. The circuit makes use of cells from a high speed logic cell library integrated with specialised analogue functions to achieve combined analogue and digital operation at 680Mb/s.
