A 62Gb/s backplane interconnect ASIC based on 3.1Gb/s serial-link technology

3.125 Gb/s Power Efficient Line Driver with 2-level Pre-emphasis and 2kV HBM ESD Protection

“…While many complex solutions are presented in the literature [1][2][3][4][5] we have developed a simple, preemphasis technique with much lower power dissipation compared to reported solutions. The developed circuitry can effectively provide up to 3.125 Gb/s of throughput over lossy and noisy channels over distance of over 50cm of the FR-4 backplane.…”
