Abstract :
Pi. low-power analog equalizer has been realized in 45nm CMOS technology. Active feedback is employed to avoid inductors and save chip area. Peaking frequency and gain boost can be finely controlled from 4GHz to 7GHz and from OdB to 24dB to allow multi-channel multi-frequency operation. The circuit dissipates 8mW from a 1.1V supply and it occupies 0.009mm2. The measured maximum peak-to-peak jitter was 29ps for a 13.5Gb/s data transmission over a 18dB-loss backplane.
