The performance of high-speed wireline data links depend crucially on the quality and
precision of their clocking infrastructure. For future applications, such as microprocessor …

An extraordinary combination of material science, manufacturing processes, and innovative
thinking spurred the development of SiGe heterojunction devices that offer a wide array of …

In this paper, we present an exact analysis for third-order charge-pump phase-locked loops
using state equations. Both the large-signal lock acquisition process and the small-signal …

Clock recovery using phase-locked loops (PLL) with binary (bang-bang) or ternary-
quantized phase detectors has become increasingly common starting with the advent of fully …

The relatively less exploited terahertz band possesses great potential for a variety of
important applications, including communication applications that would benefit from the …

This paper describes a quadrature ring oscillator that is tunable from 9.8 to 11.5 GHz in a 30-
GHz f/sub T/BiCMOS technology. The ring oscillator can be used in advanced data clock …

Hardware developments have been a major vehicle in popularizing the applications of
signal processing theory in both science and engineering. The book describes the important …

A 4-Gb/s clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit is realized in a 0.25-μm standard CMOS
technology. The CDR circuit exploits 1/8-rate clock technique to facilitate the design of a …

A 0.25-mum CMOS, multi-rate clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit that leverages unique
analog/digital boundaries in its phase detector and loop filter to achieve a fully integrated …

Considerable progress has been made in integrating multi-Gb/s functions into silicon chips
for data-and telecommunication applications. This paper reviews the key requirements for …
