Fast startup crystal oscillators (XOs) are needed in heavily duty-cycled communication
systems for implementing aggressive dynamic power management schemes. This article …

A rapid ON/OFF LC-based fractional-N injection-locked clock multiplier (ILCM) is presented.
The proposed architecture extends the merits of ILCMs to fractional-N operation. It employs …

Rapid ON/OFF (ROO) operation helps scale power in accordance with link utilization. In this
article, we present a baud-rate ROO receiver that can turn on in just 10 ns (~ 120 TiI). Baud …

In this paper, we introduce an all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) for Bluetooth low
energy (BLE) that eliminates the need for a crystal oscillator (XO) other than a 32.768-kHz …

An all-digital clock frequency multiplier that achieves excellent locking time for an energy-
efficient chiplet-based system-on-chip (SoC) design is presented. The proposed architecture …

Modern multiprocessor system-on-chips employ network-on-chip (NoC) to efficiently connect
different components together. NoCs need global and local interconnects to deliver high on …

This article presents a clock-domain-based integrated pulsewidth modulation (PWM)(iPWM)
line-coding scheme to enable equalization while operating at low supply voltages. While …

This paper presents two new line-coding schemes, integrated pulse width modulation
(iPWM) and consecutive digit chop** (CDC) for equalizing lossy wireline channels with …

A burst-mode clock-and-data-recovery (CDR) system for a multi-channel vertical-cavity
surface-emitting laser (VCSEL)-based non-return-to-zero (NRZ) optical link's quarter-rate …

This paper reviews the need of a high performance wireline communication in the
background of wirelessly connected billions of sensor nodes by 2020s. It compares the …
