Abstract

This brief describes the design and implementation of a 250-Mb/s to 6-Gb/s single-loop referenceless clock and data recovery circuit. The clock frequency multiplier and the referenceless frequency acquisition circuit are used to cover a wide-range data rate. The clock frequency multiplier is proposed to generate the 6-GHz clock with low jitter. In addition, the voltage-controlled oscillator operates at 1/5-rate frequency of the sampling clock, which has a merit of low power consumption. The proposed circuit achieves 9.56-ps rms jitter, consumes 13.2 mW at 6 Gb/s, and occupies 0.0944 mm² in a 65-nm CMOS technology.
