A 0.17 pJ/bit 28 Gb/s/pin Single-Ended PAM-4 Transmitter for On-Chip Short-Reach Unterminated Channels

This paper presents the design of a single-ended four-level pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM-4) transmitter for an on-chip short-reach unterminated channel. To achieve multi-output generation, a local voltage buffer consisting of a diode-connected device and a leaker transistor is introduced. By char...
