Abstract

A new differential pulse receiver is demonstrated for AC coupled interconnect (ACCI), which enables the highest data rate, at 6Gb/s/channel (36Gb/s aggregate), for capacitively coupled systems using pulse signaling. The system works across FR4 printed circuit board (PCB) interconnect lengths of up to 30cm with coupling capacitors from 95fF to 165fF, while dissipating only 1.97mW/Gbps for the entire differential transceiver (0.83pJ/bit for the transmitter and 1.23pJ/bit for the receiver)
