Silicon Line GmbH announces an
ultra-low power, dual clock and data recovery |
|
|
Munich, Germany, September 28, 2006:
Silicon Line GmbH, a German analog and mixed signal IC design company,
today announced the development of an 1.25 Gigabit per second (Gb/s)
dual-channel clock and data recovery (CDR).
The dual CDR chip provides simultaneous resynchronization capabilities
for both directions of a Gigabit communication link in a very compact
device. It operates at 1.25 Gb/s on 8B/10B encoded serial data.
The
function of this chip is to clean up deterministic and random jitter
of e.g. a full-duplex 1000BASE-X link.
“With the dual CDR development Silicon Line has proven its
competencies in the field of low-jitter, low-power PLL devices" said
Holger Hoeltke, Managing Director at Silicon Line. “World-wide, the
device is one of the smallest dual CDRs designed ever and allows our
customer to build multi-channel full-duplex gigabit systems without
trading in performance or dealing with power consumption issues.”
The dual CDR chip operates from a single 1.2 V power supply and
exhibits a power consumption of less than 20 mW for both channels.
It accepts a peak-to-peak input jitters of up to 0.75 UI. The
cleaned-up output signal features a peak-to-peak output jitter of less
than 0.1 UI. The device allows for system as well as line loopback.
Both integrated CDRs can be enabled separately.
The chip was developed in a standard 130 nm CMOS process technology
and has a chip size of only 0.7 mm˛.
To facilitate assembly in small form factor packages and to reduce
assembly cost further the dual CDR integrates
all necessary functions
on chip. No external components are needed to operate the device.
