Minimizing power consumption is one of the most important objectives in IC design. Resizing gates and assigning different Vt’s are common ways to meet power and timing budgets. ...
A truly monolithic clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit for low cost low-end data communication systems has been realized in 0.6ȝm CMOS. The implemented CDR comprises a phase-an...
