Abstract :
A 16:1 multiplexer and 1:16 demultiplexer, designed using a 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS process, operates at data rates between 39.8 Gb/s and 43.1 Gb/s. The demultiplexer features an integrated CDR (clock and data recovery) with an input sensitivity of 25 mV at 40 Gb/s and 40 mV at 43 Gb/s. The multiplexer has an integrated CMU (clock multiplier unit) and an output voltage swing of 1 Vp-p differential with 165 fs rms jitter. Both chips are SFI-5 compliant. The multiplexer and demultiplexer dissipate 10 W and 4.7 W of power, respectively, using supply voltages of -3.6 V and 1.2 V (or 1.8 V).
