Young Bok Kim, Yong-Bin Kim, Fabrizio Lombardi · 2010
In this paper, capacitive 4-PWAM transmitter architectures and circuits are proposed and its performances are analyzed with random jitter and PVT variation comparing with other works. A novel technique is proposed to reduce power and to increase speed by using capacitive driven low swing transceiver. The proposed design saves 1.74~2.4x power and 4x higher data rate than conventional designs. To implement 4-PWAM transmitter new phase controller and adaptive capacitance network are designed. At receiver side, new architectures for PWM and PAM demodulation are proposed.
