Wave Combining Driver Based Serial Data Link Transceiver Design for Multi-Standard Applications

A new serial link transceiver design is presented in this paper to achieve high-speed transmission requirement. The proposed design comprised of Wave Combining and driving unit at the transmitter side and Decombiner at the receiver side. Wave combining and driving unit is responsible for combining the different serial data streams, and its driving over the transmission channel, whereas decombiner separates the information according to the clock signal. Continuous Time Linear Edualizer (CTLE) taps help to limit the jitter tolerance up to 10% of the data received. The simulation results with PVT corners shows it compatibility with process corner variations. The proposed design may help to double the transmission speed of existing serial link standards like PCI, HDMI, USB, and SATA.
