Abstract
In this paper, a new dual-loop half-rate clock recovery is proposed for chip-to-chip communications. The halfrate topology allows for reducing the speed requirements of the blocks that constitute the clock-recovery system to achieve the required data-rate. The proposed topology is formed by a frequency-locked loop (FLL) active at startup for coarse PVT compensation and a phase-locked loop (PLL) taking over after startup to provide phase alignment between the clock and the data. The PLL uses a multi-level bang-bang phase detector for low-power. The proposed clock recovery circuit is designed for a 5-Gb/s data rate in a 28-nm FDSOI CMOS technology with two supply voltages (1 and 1.8V). It reaches an average power consumption of 1.43 mW under PLL operation.
