Abstract:
This article presents a transition-driven AC-coupled transceiver (TRX) optimized for low-power and compact die-to-die (D2D) interfaces. To address the limitations of conventional PMOS- and transimpedance-amplifier (TIA)-based receivers (RXs), the proposed RX architecture employs a small 130-fF coupling capacitor to capture only transition information, eliminating the need for bulky …
