A 5V 0.5 um CMOS AFE IC for HDSL2 incorporates transmit DAC, noise shaping filters, output buffer, receive AGC, and ADC. The 14.2mm 2 AFE consumes 525mW and provides 82dB SNDR in both transmit and receive paths. It supports variable data rates from 63kb/s up to 2.32Mb/s, and supports >14kft (26AWG) reach at 1.544Mb/s.


18.2 A Broadband High-Voltage SLIC
for a Splitterless and Transformerless
Combined ADSL-Lite/POTS Linecard
9:00 AM

Infineon Technologies, Villach, Austria

A B-SLIC combines full voiceband/ringing functions and enables ADSL-Lite data transmission. THD is <-60dB for 25Vpp signals up to 550kHz. The 33mm 2 chip in a 170V smart power SLIC process enables a voice/data system without analog filters, transformers or relays.


18.3 A Gigabit Transceiver Chip Set for UTP CAT-6 Cables
in Digital CMOS Technology
9:30 AM

Lucent Technologies, Bell Labs, Holmdel, NJ

A 2.5V 0.25 um digital CMOS transceiver chip set achieves 1Gb/s full-duplex transmission over 100m of unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) CAT-6 with >10 -9 BER using no error correction. The chip set dissipates 400mW (analog) and 500mW (digital).

BREAK 10:00 AM

18.4 A 3V Low-Power 0.25 um CMOS 100Mb/s Receiver for Fast Ethernet
10:15 AM

Lucent Technologies, Bell Labs, Allentown, PA

A 125Mbaud receiver for 10/100 fast ethernet in 3V 0.25 um digital CMOS achieves 140m reach. The analog receiver includes ACG with baseline wander correction, equalizer and DC offset correction. The 0.984mm 2 receiver consumes 25mA from a single 3.3V power supply.


18.5 A Mixed-Signal DFE/FFE Receiver for 100Base-TX Applications
10:45 AM
P. Kelly, D. Ray, D. Vogel
Level One Communications, Sacramento, CA

A mixed-signal receiver for 100Base-TX uses mixed-signal techniques for decision-feedback and feed-forward equalization, baseline wander compensation, and digital timing recovery. The receiver occupies 1mm 2 in 0.35 um single-poly CMOS and dissipates 80mW at 3.3V.


18.6 A CMOS 125MHz Fiber/TP Media Converter with Auto Offset Cancellation Post Amplifier and Pre-Emphasis LED Driver 11:15 AM
J-C. Shieh, J. Cao, C-C. Shih
Allayer Technologies Corp., San Jose, CA

A 125MHz 100Base-TX/100Base-FX media converter with integrated post-amplifier and LED driver features a low-power all-digital data-driven clock recovery. The temperature-compensated LED driver uses pre-emphasis to precisely control the output optical waveform. This chip dissipates 0.68W on a 7mm 2 die using 0.5 um CMOS.


18.7 A Combined 10/125Mbaud Twisted-Pair Line Driver with Programmable Performance / Power Features
11:45 AM
A. Shoval, O. Shoaei, R. Leonowich
Lucent Technologies, Bell Labs, Allentown, PA

A single-chip 0.65mm 2 3.3V 0.25 um CMOS 10/125Mbaud twisted-pair driver dissipates 151mW in 100Base-TX mode and 255mW in 10Base-T mode. The driver includes amplitude feedback and can be programmmed to optimize power dissipation for different performance levels.
