40 and 20 Gbit/s monolithic integrated clock recovery using a fully-balanced narrowband regenerative frequency divider with 0.2 /spl mu/m AlGaAs/GaAs HEMTs

A 40 and 20 Gbit/s clock recovery IC has been realised by using a fully-balanced narrowband regenerative frequency divider with 0.2 /spl mu/m AlGaAs/GaAs HEMTs. The recovered clock signal has a time jitter of 2 ps at 20 GHz. The 2/spl times/1.5 mm/sup 2/ IC needs /spl sim/300 mW DC power at 3.3 V supply.
