A 56 Gbps 4‐tap PAM‐4 direct decision feedback equaliser with negative capacitance employing dynamic CML comparators in 65‐nm CMOS

Abstract Here, a 4‐level pulse amplitude modulation direct decision feedback equaliser (DFE) with a novel dynamic current‐mode‐logic comparator (DCMLC) is presented. The DCMLC breaks the trade‐off between settling time and regeneration time in traditional CML comparator design by utilizing dynamic l...
