چکیده
The research of 60GHz CMOS transceivers has bloomed due to their capability of achieving low-cost multi-Gb/s short-range wireless communications [1]. Considering practical use of the 60GHz CMOS transceivers, longer operation lifetime with high output power is preferred to provide reliable products. Unfortunately, as indicated in [2], the output power capability of the transmitter will gradually degrade due to the hot-carrier-injection (HCI) effects in the standard CMOS transistors at large-signal operation (e.g. power amplifiers). It is because the inherently large voltage swing at the output of the power amplifiers (PAs) is the main source of the HCI damage. Unfortunately, a thick-oxide transistor, a common solution for reliability issues at lower frequencies, cannot be utilized for 60GHz CMOS PA design due to its limited maximum oscillation frequency (fmax).

With the advent of small mobile internet devices (MIDs) and a rising consumer demand for multiple simultaneous transmit and receive communication links, the need for highly programmable, low-cost transceiver front-ends that co-exist with other radios on the same platform or die, has increased. For the past decade, CMOS technologies have demonstrated the ability to integrate the entire transceiv...

The ever growing volume of backplane communications pushes the data rate toward 20Gb/s for the next-generation transceivers. Over the years, chip designers have been seeking different data formats to overcome the loss of electrical channels. Among the existing solutions, duobinary signaling manifests itself in bandwidth efficiency as (1) its spectrum occupies only half as wide as that of NRZ da...

The bulk CMOS technology is expected to scale down to about 32nm node and likely the successor would be the FinFET. The FinFET is an ultra-thin body multi-gate MOS transistor with among other characteristics a much higher voltage gain compared to a conventional bulk MOS transistor [1]. Bandgap reference circuits cannot be directly ported from bulk CMOS technologies to SOI FinFET technologies, b...
