摘要
We have designed a high-speed serial interface operating at 9.2 Gb/s for an automotive microcontroller in a 28-nm planar CMOS technology. The full-rate voltage-mode transmitter features an 8-tap feed-forward equalization where each tap can be programmed with steps of 1/16. Impedance tuning is possible by activating different driver replicas. The halfrate receiver features continuous time-linear equalization as well as decision-feedback equalization with 4 taps (one loop-unrolled), along with a dedicated phase-detection algorithm. The final circuit occupies an area of 0.125 mm(2) and consumes 5.7 mW/Gb/s under nominal conditions. Experimental characterization demonstrates that the equalization strategies are able to improve the bit error rate well below 10(-12) with typical communication channels for automotive applications.
