Abstrakt: This paper describes a 3.6-Gb/s 27-mW transceiver for chip-to-chip applications. A voltage-mode transmitter is proposed that equalizes the channel while maintaining impedance matching. A comparator is proposed that achieves sampling bandwidth control and offset compensation. A novel timing recovery circuit controls the phase by mismatching the current in the charge pump. The architecture maintains high signal integrity while each port consumes only 7.5 mW/Gb/s. The entire design occupies 0.2 mm² in a 0.18-μm 1.8-V CMOS technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
