Abstract
A key issue in current quantum computing interfaces is the dense interconnect between electronics at cryogenic temperature (CT) and room temperature (RT). Recently, progress has been made to move more control electronics from RT to CT, reducing interconnect overhead. The next step towards minimal interconnect is a direct wireline interface between RT and CT. This work presents a fullrate 10 Gb/s clockanddata recovery circuit for a high speed serial link receiver operating at CT.
A novel phase detector is utilized to reduce power consumption by removing the need for both a pulse generator at the input and, a buffer between the phase detector and voltage controlled oscillator. Additionally, a digital delaylocked loop is added to improve the retiming margin, achieving higher jitter tolerance. Implemented in 40nm CMOS, postlayout simulation shows a core power consumption of 3.89 mW from a 1.1V supply at 10 Gb/s, producing an rmsjitter of 84 fs and an estimated jitter tolerance
of 1.1 UIpp at 10 MHz.
