A 7.5Gb/s referenceless transceiver for UHDTV with adaptive equalization and bandwidth scanning technique in 0.13µm CMOS process

A 7.5Gb/s referenceless transceiver for the ultra-high definition television is designed in a 0.13μm CMOS process. By applying the dynamic pre-emphasis calibration and the bandwidth scanning clock generators, measured eye opening and jitter of the clock are enhanced by 39.6% and 40%, respectively. Also the data-width comparison based adaptive equalizer with self-adjusting reference voltage is proposed.
