Abstract:
A receiver analog front end (AFE) suitable for a 224 Gb/s PAM-4 long-reach ADC-based SerDes receiver is implemented in Intel 10nm FinFET process. The AFE consists of distributed input matching network and a hybrid peaking CTLE followed by a VGA that drives an interleaved ADC used for characterization. The AFE achieves 19dB boost and 11.7dB peak gain at 54GHz while consuming 60mW.
