Abstract:
High-speed CMOS ring voltage controlled oscillators with low supply sensitivity have been disclosed. According to one embodiment, a CML ring oscillator comprises a CML negative impedance compensation circuit comprising two cross coupled transistors and a resistor connected to the two transistors for resistive biasing and a CML interpolating delay cell connected in parallel with the CML negative impedance compensation. An impedance change of the CML negative impedance compensation due to supply variation counteracts an impedance change of the CML interpolating delay cell.
Abstract:
A full-rate referenceless clock-data recovery architecture with neither a frequency detector nor a lock detector that allows both frequency and phase locking in a single loop. According to one embodiment, a referenceless clock data recovery (CDR) circuit, comprises a digital control circuit (DCC), a phase and strobe point detector circuit (PSPD), and an LC voltage control oscillator (LC VCO) electrically coupled to the PSPD and DCC such that a frequency of the LC VCO decreases when a negative strobe point is detected and an initial frequency of the LC VCO is higher than an input data bit rate.

Abstract:
Design of ultra broadband transimpedance amplifiers (TIA) for optical fiber communications is disclosed. In one embodiment, a TIA comprises a gm-boosted dual-feedback common-base stage, a level shifter and an RC-degenerated common-emitter stage, and a first emitter-follower stage, wherein the first emitter follower stage is inductively degenerated. An output of the TIA is buffered using a second emitter-follower stage.
