Recent Advances in Ultrahigh-Speed Wireline Receivers With ADC-DSP-Based Equalizers
High-speed wireline data transceivers (TRX) with analog-to-digital converter (ADC) followed by digital signal processor (DSP) on the receiver (RX) equalizer became popular for applications requiring >100-Gb/s per-lane data rate over long-reach (LR) channels, especially for datacenter appl...

description | High-speed wireline data transceivers (TRX) with analog-to-digital converter (ADC) followed by digital signal processor (DSP) on the receiver (RX) equalizer became popular for applications requiring >100-Gb/s per-lane data rate over long-reach (LR) channels, especially for datacenter applications. With the digital-to-analog converter (DAC)-based transmitter (TX), including DSP-based TX signal processing, the overall structure of DAC/ADC-DSP-based wireline TRXs became similar to modulator/demodulator (MODEM). This article overviews DAC/ADC-DSP-based wireline transceivers and analyzes their subblocks, such as analog front-end (AFE), DSP techniques, and their implementation, focusing on the equalizer datapath. Recently published relevant articles are briefly reviewed, and insights from prior arts are provided. TRX architectures for energy- and bandwidth-efficient DAC/ADC-DSP-based TRX using modulation schemes beyond 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) are also reviewed and discussed. In addition, hardware-based serializer–deserializer simulation and real-time emulation systems for rapid architecture and design verification are reviewed. |
