This paper presents the first fully integrated SONET OC-192 transmitter and receiver fabricated in a standard 0.18-m CMOS process. The transmitter consists of an input data register, 16-b-wide first-in-first-out (FIFO) circuit, clock multiplier unit (CMU), and 16 : 1 multiplexer to give a 10-Gb/s serial output. The receiver integrates an input amplifier for 10-Gb/s data, clock and data recovery circuit (CDR), 1 : 16 demultiplexer, and drivers for low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) outputs. An on-chip LC-type voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is employed by both the transmitter and receiver. The chipset operates at multiple data rates (9.95-10.71 Gb/s) with functionality compatible with the multisource agreement (MSA) for 10-Gb transponders. Both chips demonstrate SONET-compliant jitter characteristics. The transmitter 10.66-GHz output clock jitter is 0.065 UI (unit interval, peak-to-peak) over a 50-kHz-80-MHz bandwidth. The receiver jitter tolerance is more than 0.4 UI at high frequencies (4-80 MHz). A high level of integration and low-power consumption is achieved by using a standard CMOS process. The transmitter and receiver dissipate a total power of 1.32 W at 1.8 V and are packaged in a plastic ball grid array with a footprint of 11 11 mm 2 .
