A backplane transceiver core in 0.13 μm dual-gate CMOS, operating at 0.6 to 9.6 Gb/s with an area of 0.56 mm2 and dissipating 150 mW at 6.25 Gb/s, is presented. This core uses a unique adaptive receive equalization strategy, transmit pre-emphasis, and has extensive optional test features including a built-in BER tester and an on-chip receiver sampling scope.
