A 0.16 mm 28×2.5 Gb/s clock-forwarding half-rate receiver with global de-skew in 180 nm CMOS

在时钟转发架构的高速有线通信接收机中,需要去偏斜电路实现时钟与数据之间的最佳采样关系,并保证多路数据的同步。本文提出了一种全局去偏斜方案,仅采用一路数据与时钟进行对齐,并通过时钟延时匹配与分布技术实现多路数据同步,减小了各通道独立去偏斜方案带来的功耗与面积开销。所提出的接收机由8路数据通道、1路半速率转发时钟通道与基于延迟锁定环路的全局去偏斜电路构成。基于180 nm CMOS工艺,在2.5 Gb/s数据率下,可去除输入时钟与数据任意偏斜,得到位于数据中心的采样相位,同时具有时钟占空比校准能力。在1.8 V电源电压下,所提出的接收机总功耗为187 mW,总面积为0.16 mm^(2),对比各通道独立去偏斜方案,功耗和面积开销分别节约了45.2%与62.8%。

In high-speed wireline communication,clock-forwarding receivers requires the de-skew circuit to achieve the optimal sampling relationship between the clock and the data,and to ensure the synchronization of multiple data channels.A global de-skew scheme is proposed in the paper,which only uses one data and clock channel for alignment,and implements multi-channel data synchronization by clock delay matching and distribution techniques,reducing the power and area overhead by the independent de-skew circuit for each channel.The proposed receiver consists of 8 data channels,1 half-rate forwarded clock channel,and a global de-skew circuit based on the delay-locked loop.Based on 180 nm CMOS technology,at a data rate of 2.5 Gb/s,it can remove any skew between the input clock and data,and obtain the sampling phase at the center of the data eye,with the ability of clock duty cycle calibration.At a supply voltage of 1.8 V,the total power consumption of the proposed receiver is 187 mW,occupying the area of 0.16 mm^(2),saving 45.2%and 62.8%of power and area overhead,respectively,compared with the independent de-skew scheme for each channel.
