Abstract:A clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit is the key building block in all serial communication systems. A classical CDR is implemented using a Type-2 phaselocked loop (PLL) wherein a passive lead-lag analog loop filter is used to set the loop response. Large capacitors needed to achieve low jitter transfer bandwidth and a highly over-damped response to reduce jitter peaking prohibit monolithic integration of the analog loop filter [1,2]. Digital loop filters (DLFs) that are robust to process and temperature var… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
