A 10-Gb/s power and area efficient clock and data recovery circuit in 65-nm CMOS technology

This paper reports a 10-Gb/s power and area efficient clock and data recovery circuit implemented in 65-nm CMOS technology. CMOS static circuits are used as much as possible so that the power consumption and the chip area can be minimized. In order to alleviate the supply sensitivity of CMOS static circuits, a supply-regulator is implemented. At 10-Gb/s, the clock and data recovery circuit consumes 5-mW of power and occupies 0.0075mm
