A 2.5Gb/s/ch data recovery （DR） circuit is designed for an SFI-5 interface. To make the parallel data bit-synchronization and reduce the bit error rate （BER） ,a delay locked loop （DLL） is used to place the center of the data eye exactly at the rising edge of the data-sampling clock. A single channel DR circuit was fabricated in TSMC＇s standard 0. 18μm CMOS process. The chip area is 0. 46mm^2. With a 2^32 - 1 pseudorandom bit sequence （PRBS） input,the RMS jitter of the recovered 2.5Gb/s data is 3.3ps. The sensitivity of the single channel DR is less than 20mV with 10-12 BER.
A 2.5Gb/s clock and data recovery （CDR） circuit is designed and realized in TSMC＇s standard 0.18/μm CMOS process. The clock recovery is based on a PLL. For phase noise optimization,a dynamic phase and frequency detector （PFD） is used in the PLL. The rms jitter of the recovered 2.5GHz clock is 2.4ps and the SSB phase noise is - 111dBc/Hz at 10kHz offset. The rms jitter of the recovered 2.5Gb/s data is 3.3ps. The power consumption is 120mW.
