Abstract :
We demonstrate that a 32Gb/s transmitter with a 4-way interleaved configuration is feasible in 28nm CMOS. A bit in the data stream contributes to a 2UI-wide pulse in the output signal, eliminating the need for 2-to-1 MUXs and enabling the use of quarter-rate clocking. A 4-tap 1UI-spacing FIR filter is implemented in the transmitter to compensate for the signal loss in the signal transmission media. The output signal is compatible with conventional NRZ receivers with a DFE.
