A 48-Gb/s Inductorless PAM-4 Optical Receiver With 1.28-pJ/bit Efficiency in 28-nm CMOS

A 48-Gb/s Inductorless PAM-4 Optical Receiver With 1.28-pJ/bit Efficiency in 28-nm CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

This work presents a 48-Gb/s four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) optical receiver (ORX) with a linear analog front-end (AFE) and an integrated sampler. The AFE employs a transadmittance-stage transimpedance-stage (TAS-TIS) topology, replacing conventional CML-based variable gain amplifiers (VGAs) and post-amplifiers, avoiding continuous-time linear equalizers and passive inductors while preserving …

CORDIC-Less Digital Polar Transmitter Architecture Based on Delta-Sigma Modulator

CORDIC-Less Digital Polar Transmitter Architecture Based on Delta-Sigma Modulator 150 150

Abstract:

Conventional digital polar transmitters (TXs) suffer from limited power efficiency and linearity due to the multi-bit nature of intermediate signals. This work proposes a digital polar TX architecture that avoids such drawbacks by reducing the bit count of TX signals. The proposed TX oversamples and quantizes multi-bit I/Q inputs …
