Abstract

© 2015 IEEE. A full-rate energy-efficient forwarded-clock (FC) receiver is demonstrated in this paper. A current sampler with continuous-time equalization is realized with 20 GHz bandwidth in sampling for data recovery. Moreover, a phase interpolator is introduced to generate sampling clock with deskew for data recovery. The testing chip was fabricated in 65 nm CMOS process in area of 0.16 mm2. Measurement shows that the FC receiver can achieve a data-rate up to 9.8 Gbps and power consumption is 6.5 mW.
