Abstract
A 2.5Gb/s 2:1 multiplexer(MUX) IC using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS was designed and fabricated. Inductive peaking technology was used to improve the performance. On-chip micro spiral inductor was designed to maximize the inductive peaking effect without increasing the chip area much. The designed 4.7 nH micro-spiral inductor was $20\times20{\mu}m2$ in size. 2:1 MUX with and without micro spiral inductors were compared. The rise and fall time was improved more than 23% and 3% respectively using the micro spiral inductors for 1.25Gb/s signal. For 2.5 Gb/s signal, fall and rise time was improved 5.3% and 3.5% respectively. It consumed 61mW and voltage output swing was 1$180mV_{p-p}$ at 2.5Gb/s.
