Abstract
A data decision IC is designed for STM-16 SDH-systems. A differential high-speed master-slave DFF is used for the decision function. Wide-band high-gain amplifiers are used for input and output data buffers to obtain high sensitivity and sufficient drive capability. The chip was realized in a 0.35-μm CMOS foundry technology. The chip size is 0.7 × 0.8 mm2. The supply voltage is 5 V and the current is 50 mA. A working data rate of higher than 3.5 Gb/s has been measured. The sensitivity is as low as 10-20 mV.
