Abstract:
Time mode signal processing (TMSP) is the implementation of analog signal processing functions using the most basic element available, namely, propagation delay. Moreover, a time to digital converter (TDC), an important block of time mode circuits, could be used to convert the time difference between two edges of two signals into a sequence of digital numbers. In this paper, a new time mode SerDes for high data rate chip to chip communication utilizing differential pulse position modulation (DPPM) as the primary method of data encoding was proposed. The proposed design substantiates an improvement in the bandwidth and simplifies the circuit complexity of the currently used serializer de-serializers (SerDes). The complete proposed design was tested in TSMC 65 nm Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology; it achieved a data rate of 5 Gbps running at the input clock frequency of 1.25 GHz.
