Abstract :
Data recovery and retiming of 4.8Gb/s fully buffered DIMM serial links are described. A 2.4GHz retiming FIFO with an integrated insertion MUX is used to minimize the thru-latency. Fabricated in a 0.13mum 1.5V CMOS technology, the chip occupies 9.2 times 4.5mm2. Using wide-band CML techniques, the input sensitivity with a minimum eye-opening of 0.35UI, is better than 50mVp-pat a BER of 10 -12
