Abstract :
This paper discusses a daisy chain of current-drive transmitters in inductive-coupling CMOS links. Current is reused by multiple transmitters. 8 transceivers are arranged with a pitch of 20mum in 0.18mum CMOS. Transmit power is saved by 35% without sacrificing data rate (1Gb/s/ch) and BER (<10-12) by having 4 transmitters daisy chained
