Overview

Experimental evaluation demonstrates a 64 Gb/s single-ended PAM-4 transmitter with 82% jitter reduction, suggesting improved bandwidth and energy efficiency for dense memory interfaces.

Key Points

  • To develop a high-speed, single-ended PAM-4 transmitter for memory interfaces that mitigates far-end crosstalk and switching jitter without degrading output signal swing or bandwidth.
  • Fabricated a single-ended PAM-4 transmitter in 28-nm CMOS featuring a merged preemphasis capacitive-peaking crosstalk cancellation scheme.
  • Integrated a 3-tap reconfigurable fractional-spaced feed-forward equalizer with a predriver coefficient selector to avoid extra driver cells and lower parasitic capacitance.
  • Evaluated high-speed data transmission and jitter metrics under an insertion loss of −11 dB and far-end crosstalk of −15.8 dB at 16 GHz.
  • Achieved a 64 Gb/s transmission speed with an energy efficiency of 1.27 pJ/bit.
  • Reduced the crosstalk-induced jitter ratio by 82% using the merged capacitive-peaking crosstalk cancellation architecture.
  • Increased transmitter bandwidth by 60% through parasitic capacitance reduction via the predriver coefficient selector.
