Popis: This thesis presents two contributions in the area of high speed clock and data recovery systems. These contributions are focused on the fast phase recovery and adaptive equalization techniques. The first contribution of this thesis is an adaptive engine for a 2x blind sampling receiver. The proposed adaptation engine is able to find the phase-dependent DFE coefficients of the receiver on the fly. The second contribution is a burst-mode clock and data recovery architecture which uses an analog phase interpolator. The proposed burst-mode CDR is capable of locking to the first data transition it receives. The phase interpolator uses the inherent timing information in the data transition to rotate the phase of a reference clock and align it with the incoming data edge. The feasibility of the concept is demonstrated through fabrication and measurements.
