Abstract:

This paper describes a high speed current mode multilevel simultaneous bi-directional I/O which calibrates pin-to-pin current mismatch. Output impedance is controlled by an impedance matching circuit reducing process variation down to /spl plusmn/2.5%. Maximum 20% pin-to-pin current mismatch is reduced to 1.25% by 4-bit digital calibration scheme. Simulation results based on 0.18/spl mu/m CMOS process show that the proposed design achieves 4-Gb/s/pin data rate with 512ps timing window and 27mV voltage window. I/O circuits consume 12mW/pin at a supply voltage of 1V.
