Abstract

In this paper, we proposed an adaptive ATC(Automatic Threshold Control) circuit with more decreased settling time by improving the structure of the peak detector. We showed that it could reduce a good deal of the settling time because it showed less than half the error voltage ratio that the ATC circuit with conventional structure showed in analysis. We also designed a burst-mode ATC circuit for the 1.25Gbps EPON system using a commercial foundry. It produced the reference levels in very short time, 6㎱ in 40 ㏈ input dynamic range.

본 논문에서는 첨두 검출기의 구조를 개선함으로써 정착시간(settling time)을 더욱 단축시킬 수 있는 적응형 기준레벨자동 발생회로를 제안했다. 제안한 기준레벨 자동 발생회로에 대해 비슷한 정착시간을 설정하였을 때에 오차전압비율이 기존 구조에 비해 절반 이하로 줄일 수 있어 정착시간을 상당량 개선할 수 있음을 해석을 통해 밝혔다. 아울러 상용 파운드리(foundry)를 이용하여 1.25G EPON 시스템용 버스트 모드기준레벨 자동 발생회로를 설계한 결과 동적 영역(dynamic range)이 40㏈인 입력신호에 대해 6㎱ 라는 매우 짧은 시간 이내에 기준 레벨을 생성해 내는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
