A 43 Gb/s full-rate-clock 4:1 multiplexer in InP-based HEMT technology

A 43 Gb/s 4:1 multiplexer in 0.13/spl mu/m InP-based HEMT technology contains a 52 Gb/s static D-FF and a phase adjuster giving the D-FF 360/spl deg/ effective phase margin. Microwave techniques and optimization of layout enable 43 Gb/s operation with 43 GHz full-rate clock. Power dissipation is 7.9 W at -5.2 V.
