Abstract:
In this paper, a low-power half-rate charge-steering echo cancellation hybrid circuit topology is proposed for full-duplex signaling over chip-to-chip interconnects. The proposed half-rate charge-steering hybrid topology has a very low power consumption compared to traditional current-mode and voltage-mode hybrid circuit topology implementations, thanks to the discrete nature of charge-steering hybrid topology avoiding direct current path between VDD and ground. The half-rate hybrid circuit topology has been implemented in 65 nm CMOS technology with a supply voltage of 1.2 V. The post-layout performance of the half-rate charge-steering hybrid including package parasitic has a differential received signal voltage swing of 0.8 V at 10 Gb/s data rate with a timing jitter of 10 ps over a FR4 PCB interconnect of length 20 cm. The total power consumption of the half-rate charge-steering hybrid is only 0.16 mW and its energy efficiency is 0.032 pJ/bit. The layout of the hybrid occupies an area of 0.0007 mm2.
