Abstract :
A 1.2 demultiplexer is presented which operates at up to 60 Gbit/s. This data rate is a record value for all ICs in any technology and has so far only been achieved by a time-division multiplexer recently presented by the authors. The IC, which was fabricated in an SiGe bipolar technology and mounted on a simple measuring socket, is also well suited for retiming data streams. e.g. in the receiver of future fibre optic transmission systems
