Voltage-mode SerDes with self-calibration

A voltage-mode transmitter includes a calibration circuit having a replica circuit. By adjusting a feedback voltage driving a gate of a replica transistor in the replica circuit so that an impedance of the replica circuit matches an impedance of a variable resistor, the calibration circuit calibrate...

Zusammenfassung:A voltage-mode transmitter includes a calibration circuit having a replica circuit. By adjusting a feedback voltage driving a gate of a replica transistor in the replica circuit so that an impedance of the replica circuit matches an impedance of a variable resistor, the calibration circuit calibrates an output impedance of a single slice driver.
