ABSTRACT |
|
In this talk, we will present a comparison of
equalization techniques used in High-Speed Serial Communications
systems. In particular, we will compare a digital ADC-based
equalizer architecture versus an analog equalizer architecture,
and describe the design tradeoffs involved. The presentation
will cover the challenges of high-speed Serdes design over
channels with various types of impairments. A survey of
equalizer architectures and the strengths and weaknesses of each
will be described. Taking a backplane channel as an example, and
targeting a 25Gbps data rate, we will summarize the performance
and the cost/benefit of using the different equalizer
architectures described. |
