This paper proposes a 2x oversampling method with a smart sampling for a clock and data recovery(CDR) circuit in a 2.5Gbps serial data link. In the conventional 2x oversampling method, the "bang-bang" operation of the phase detection produces a systematic jitter in CDR. The smart sampling in phase detection helps the CDR to remove the "bang-bang" operation and to improve the jitter performance. The CDR with the proposed 2x oversampling method is designed using Samsung 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ process parameters and verified by simulation. Simulation result shows the proposed 2x oversampling method removes the systematic jitter.e systematic jitter.

This study is on the design of 10Gbps CMOS receiver circuits for fiber-optic communication. The receiver is made up of a photodiode, a transimpedance amplifier, a limiting amplifier, an equalizer, a clock and data recovery loop circuit, and a demultiplexer or demux with some auxiliary circuits including I/O circuits. Various wideband or high-speed circuit techniques are harnessed to realize a feasible, effective, and reliable receiver for a SONET fiber-optic standard, OC-192.

With recent advancement of high-speed, multi-gigabit data transmission capabilities, serial links have been more widely adopted in industry than parallel links. Since the parallel link design forces its transmitter to transmit both the data and the clock to the receiver at the same time, it leads to hardware's intricacy during high-speed data transmission, large power consumption, and high cost. Meanwhile, the serial links allows the transmitter to transmit data only with no synchronized clock information. For the purpose, clock and data recovery circuit becomes a very crucial key block. In this paper, a 5.4Gbps half-rate bang-bang CDR is designed for the applications of high-speed graphic DRAM interface. The CDR consists of a half-rate bang-bang phase detector, a current-mirror charge-pump, a 2nd-order loop filter, and a 4-stage differential ring-type VCO. The PD automatically retimes and demultiplexes the data, generating two 2.7Gb/s sequences. The proposed circuit is realized in 66㎚ CMOS process. With input pseudo-random bit sequences (PRBS) of $2^{13}-1$, the post-layout simulations show 10psRMS clock jitter and $40ps_{p-p}$ retimed data jitter characteristics, and also the power dissipation of 80mW from a single 1.8V supply.

A design of clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit for the SONET OC-48 using a standard 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process has been performed. The phase detector and the charge pump must be able to operate at the 2.5 Gb/s input data speed and also accurately compare phase errors to reduce clock jitter. As a phase detector, the Hogge phase detector is selected but two transistors are added to improve the performance of the D-F/F. The charge pump was also designed to be placed indirectly input and output. A general ring oscillator topology is presented and simulated. It provides five-phase outputs and 220 MHz to 3.12 GHz tuning range.

In the fast data communication system, synchronized by a clock source, the loss of data will often occur due to several reasons as a differential routing path between data and clock, a differential propagation delay of components or an unstable phase of clock and data by external noise. In this paper, we describe the ASIC implementation of the data compensation circuit which can detect the data loss from above problems and recovery to original data with stable synchronization. Especially it supports a strong stability and a good BER in the communication system for fast data transfer as optic area. This circuit is implemented by Verilog HDL and available to the digital ASIC implementations related to fast data transfer.

In this paper, a clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit for a serial link with a half rate 4x oversampling phase and frequency detector structure without a reference clock is described. The phase detector (PD) and frequency detector (FD)are designed by 4X oversampling method. The PD, which uses bang-bang method, finds the phase error by generating four up/down signal and the FD, which uses the rotational method, finds the frequency error by generating up/down signal made by the PD output. And the six signals of the PD and the FD control an amount of current that flows through the charge pump. The VCO composed of four differential buffer stages generates eight differential clocks. Proposed circuit is designed using the 0.18um CMOS technology and operating voltage is 1.8V. With a 4X oversampling PD and FD technique, tracking range of 24% at 3.125Gbps is achieved.

This paper describes a design for a 2.5Gb/s serial data link CMOS transceiver based on the InfiniBand$^{TM}$ specification. The transceiver chip integrates data serializer, line driver, Tx PLL, deserializer, clock recovery, and lock detector. The designed transceiver is fabricated in a 0.25 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS mixed-signal, 1-poly, 5-metal process. The first version chip occupies a 3.0mm x 3.3mm area and consumes 450mW with 2.5V supply. In 2.5 Gbps, the output jitter of transmitter measured at the point over a 1.2m, 50Ω coaxial cable is 8.811ps(rms), 68ps(p-p). In the receiver, VCO jitter is 18.5ps(rms), 130ps(p-p), the recovered data are found equivalent to the transmitted data as expected. In the design for second version chip, the proposed clock and data recovery circuit using linear phase detector can reduce jitter in the VCO of PLL.L.

This paper presents a multi-channel transceiver that achieves a data rate of 3.125Gb/s/ch. The LVDS is used because of its noise immunity and low power consumption. And a pre-emphasis circuit is also proposed to increase the transmitter speed. On the receiver side, a low-power CDR(clock and data recovery) using 1/4-rate clock based on dual-interpolator is proposed. The CDR generates needed additional clocks in each recovery part internally using only inverters. Therefore each part can be supplied with the same number of 1/4-rate clocks from a clock generator as in 1/2-rate clock method. Thus, the reduction of a clock frequency relaxes the speed limitation and lowers power dissipation. The prototype chip is comprised of two channels and was fabricated in a $0.18{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process. The output jitter of transmitter is loops, peak-to-peak(0.31UI) and the measured recovered clock jitter is 47.33ps, peak-to-peak which is equivalent to 3.7% of a clock period. The area of the chip is $3.5mm^2$ and the power consumption is about 119mW/ch.

A design study of phase detectors for the 2.5 Gb/s CDR circuit using a standard 0.18-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process has been performed. The targeted CDR is based on the phase-locked loop and thus it consists of a phase detector, a charge pump, a LPF, and a VCO. For high frequency operation of 2.5 Gb/s, phase detector and charge pump, which accurately compare phase errors to reduce clock jitter, are critical for designing a reliable CDR circuit. As a phase detector, the Hogge phase detector is selected but two transistors are added to improve the performance of the D-F/F. The charge pump was also designed to be placed indirectly input and output.

In this paper, A VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) in use of clock recovery/data regeneration circuit for 10 Gbps fiber optic receivers was developed. The improved hair-pin resonator with a parallel coupled lines, which has been applied to microstrip filters, was used as a resonance part. As a frequcncy tuning device by substituting 3-terminalMESFET vaaractor for varactor diode, an MMIC manufacturing process will be simplified. Since a hair-pin resonator is planar type compared to the dielectric resonator and has a relatively flat reactance verus frequency, it will be favorable to apply a hair-pin resonator to an MMIC, in addition wideband frequency tuning range is able to be obtained.
