A 25.5mW 10Gb/s inductorless receiver with an adaptive front-end in 0.13 µm CMOS.

An inductorless adaptive wireline receiver is presented with a digital calibration technique to define the frequency response based on the output data-eye. The receiver incorporates a transimpedance amplifier with nested active feedback as the analog front-end for broadband gain. An inductorless peaking technique is described that boosts the gain at the desired frequencies by an additional 5-8 dB. A method for adaptive equalization is described based on output data eye opening consuming very-less power(6% of the total). Measurement results depict the successful equalization of channels having an attenuation of upto -19 dB at 5 GHz. The circuit is fabricated in 0.13 μm CMOS technology and consumes a power of 25.5mW at the operating data rate of 10Gb/s.
