Abstract :
It was proposed a novel dual-mode transmitter with controlled slew rate under test based on USB 2.0. When the transmitter drives 12Mbps data, it works in voltage mode, and 480Mbps in current mode. The circuit simulation is based on using Cadence´s SPECTRE software and TSMC´s library of 0.25 μm mixed-signal CMOS model. The simulation results revealed that the transmitter designed in this method supports 12Mbps and 480Mbps data rate according to USB 2.0 specification. Since the transmitter is with controlled and desired slew rate circuits, the waveform for output signal of transmitter is agreement with USB 2.0 specification.
