Short-reach and pin-efficient interfaces using correlated NRZ
2020 IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC), 2020•ieeexplore.ieee.org
Correlated Non-Return-to-Zero (CNRZ) signaling exhibits better pin-efficiency compared to
the conventional binary differential NRZ signaling, while it does not compromise the
sensitivity to Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). This article analyzes performance of CNRZ
transceivers, and provides experimental data for an Ultra-Short Reach (USR) link at 20.83
Gb/s/wire, implemented in FinFET 16 nm technology, consuming 1.02 pJ/b, As CNRZ is
based on an orthogonal transformation, both encoding and decoding can be performed in …
