Abstract

This paper describes a 10-Gb/s clock-and-data recovery (CDR) with a background optimum loop-bandwidth calibrator. The proposed CDR automatically achieves the minimum-mean-square error between jittery input data and the recovered clock signal by adjusting the bandwidth of a CDR using Kalman filtering theory. A testchip is fabricated in a 0.11 μm CMOS process and the adaptive optimum loop-bandwidth calibrator is implemented via an off-chip micro controller unit. The testchip recovers clock and data with a bit error rate of less than 10-13 while consuming 82 mW at 10-Gb/s.
