A 0.5-3.5 Gb/s low-power low-jitter serial data CMOS transceiver

Fiber Channel networks, gigabit Ethernet backbones, and IEEE 1394.b Firewire links require a high-speed point-to-point connection. This CMOS serial link transceiver dissipates 250 mW and has low jitter (8ps RMS, 44 ps P-P at 3.5 Gb/s), and wide frequency range (0.5-3.5 Gb/s). This transceiver is essential both for stand-alone and for standard-cell in a CMOS standard cell library.
