A single-chip eye-opening monitor is for decision-guided optimization of the frequency response of an optical receiver. The 50GHz-f T SiGe IC provides an analog output voltage proportional to the horizontal eye opening of the 2-12.5Gb/s input signal. The chip dissipates 4.95W from a -5V supply.

A fully-integrated receiver IC implemented in SiGe technology for 10Gb/s SONET applications combines AGC, clock and data recovery circuit with a binary PLL, 1:8 demultiplexer and 2 7-1 PRBS generator for self-testing. The die is 4.5x4.5mm 2 and consumes 4.5W from -5V.


3.3 A 0.6W 10Gb/s SONET/SDH Bit-Error-Monitoring LSI

A 10Gb/s SONET/SDH bit-error-monitoring LSI in Si bipolar uses byte-alligning demux architecture based on tree-type demux and clock inversions to reduce power to 14% that of a previously-reported chip by detecting inversion-indicating patterns. The LSI dissipates 0.6W with -3.3V supply.

9.95Gb/s and 12.5Gb/s fully-monolithic CDR ICs in SiGe BiCMOS use a bang-bang phase-locked loop architecture and include automatic frequency acquisition aid. Each macro dissipates ~320mW from 3.3V supply. The 9.95Gb/s CDR exceeds OC-192 jitter tolerance specifications with 50% margin.
3.5 A Single-Chip 3.5Gb/s CMOS/SIMOX Transceiver with Automatic-Gain-Control and Automatic-Power-Control Circuits 3:45 PM

A 0.20 um CMOS/SIMOX single-chip transceiver with limiting amplifier and automatic laser-power control operates from 0.2GHz to 3.5GHz with 2V supply. Crosstalk noise from multiplexer/demultiplexer, word aligner, and 16B/20B encoder/decoder is suppressed by an SOI guard ring and half-frequency clock using 50% clock-duty PLL.

A 10Gb/s 1:8 Demultiplexer IC for optical-fiber-link systems uses 0.18 um CMOS. The differential small-signal logic with feedback used is more tolerant to threshold voltage fluctuation than conventional logic and is suitable for GHz operation of deep submicron CMOS circuits.
