High-speed I/O is the key component to successfully transmit data between electronic devices. Simultaneous switching noise (SSN) or called ground bounce is one of the major noise sources in high-speed digital circuit. There are two research topics in this thesis. First we focus on the overview of SSN. We will propose an output buffer - AC/DC for reducing SSN, output signal ringing and maintain DC current capability. The test chip by using UMC 0.35um 1P5M digital process will be implemented to verify the theoretical analysis results and circuit design techniques. For example, SSO improvement from 3 to 11 for the YC2/ACDC2 cases, considering the Quiet VDD case. Measurement results show that our invention can reduce the output ringing by 60%, and VDD/GND line bounce by 40% when comparing with conventional buffers used in standard commercial cell library with 2ns rise/fall time and 40pF output loading capability. Also we propose a characterization procedure to estimate power pads for simultaneous switching outputs (SSO). The Universal Serial Bus (USB) technology is now becoming an integral part of the personal computer platform. USB is one of the first I/O ports where several types of devices can be connected simultaneously. Thus, in the second research topic, the transceiver architecture and circuit is proposed for USB2 high-speed mode with 480Mb/s bandwidth. The physical layer of USB2 consists of transceiver, two envelope detector, and clock recovery.
