    Abstract

    This paper presents a high-speed CMOS input sampler used for serial link receiver front end. The input sampler consists of a comparator, a SR latch and a D flip-flop. Because a parallel architecture is used for the 1:8 demultiplexing and 3x oversampliing is utilized for data recovery, there are 24 input samplers in receiver front end. These input samplers are implemented in TSMC0.18um 1P6M process with area of 252*162 um 2 . The circuits can operate at maximum input data rate of 12.7 Gbps with differential signal of 300 mV using supply voltage of 1.8V.
