A 2.5Gbps High speed driver for a next generation connector

차세대 연결망용 2-SGbps급 고속 드라이버

With the ever increasing clock frequency and integration level of CMOS circuits, I/O(input/output) and interconnect issues are becoming a growing concern. In this thesis, we propose the 2.5Gbps high speed input driver This driver consists of four different blocks, which are the high speed serializer , PECL(pseudo emitter coupled logic) Line Driver, PLL(phase lock loop) and pre-emphasis signal generator. The proposed pre-emphasis block will compensate the high frequency components of the 2.5Gbps data signal. Using the pre-emphasis block, we can obtain 2.5Gbps data signal with differential peak to peak voltage about 900 m $V_{p.p}$ This driver structure is on fabrication in 2.5v/10.25um 1poly, 5metal CMOS process.
