Abstract

This article presents analysis, design details, and measurement result of a 224-Gb/s four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) transmitter (TX) consisting of a 7-bit voltage digital-to-analog converter (DAC) driver, digital 8-tap feed-forward equalizer (FFE), and a 28-GHz inductively peaked clock distribution network. The TX DAC uses quarter-rate clocking with a 4:1 pulse-based data serializat...
