Design and Implementation of High Speed Bi-directional Transceiver for Low Power Applications

Abstract

In this paper, a new bi-directional transceiver has been proposed for high speed signaling. The new proposed transceiver architecture has two modes of operation namely, the transmitter and the receiver. Transceiver on either side supports two way communications via same link. Since high transimpedance gain over a large bandwidth in the receiving mode, the signaling current can be reduced to a very low value. The proposed circuit is designed in 90nm technology with the supply voltage of 1.8V.
