Abstract
This paper presents different design considerations for the receiver front-end (RXFE) in low-power, high-speed data links. Specifications for the RXFE are defined and explained in detail, including their impact on the overall link performance. Based on these specifications, low-power RXFE topologies are then analyzed to illustrate the design and performance tradeoffs. Techniques to properly characterize and measure the RXFE specifications are also provided, supplemented with measurement results from three different low-power links operating at 10Gb/s, 16Gb/s and 20Gb/s.
