A 112-Gb/s PAM4 Receiver With A Phase Equalization AFE in 7-nm FinFET 150 150

Abstract:

To reduce the bit-error-rate(BER), equalizers are implemented in high-speed SerDes receivers (RX) to compensate for channel insertion loss and mitigate inter-symbol interference (ISI). Conventional analog front-end (AFE) designs primarily focus on amplitude gain while neglecting the influence of phase shift. This brief presents a phase equalization (PEQ) AFE design …
