An 8-Gb

An 8-Gb

A full-duplex transceiver capable of 8-Gb/s data rates is implemented in 0.18-μm CMOS. This equalized transceiver has been optimized for small area (329 μm × 395 μm) and low power (158 mW) for point-to-point parallel links. Source-synchronous clocking and per-pin skew compensation eliminate coding b...
