Title: Unusual Clock Recovery Architecture Ameliorates Jitter Tradeoff
Speaker:
Larry Devito
Analog Devices, Inc
Wilmington, MA
Abstract:
A new architecture for clock recovery combines both a delay-locked loop and a phase-locked loop to decouple jitter tolerance and jitter transfer performance. Previous instantiation required a low gain crystal based vcxo, but this was way too expensive and too large to gain wide acceptance. An improved architecture will be discussed which obviates the vcxo, but necessitates a third loop for frequency-lock and a even a fourth loop for droop compensation. But transistors are small and cheap, so it all fits onto one chip, and that's what really matters!
