Along with the higher and higher wireline data rates, more impairments in the SerDes system and circuitry may results the link design challenges in an evolution. For example, the impairments, such as an inter-symbol interference, ISI (due to frequency dependent attenuation), crosstalk, reflection, noise, jitter, linearity, device mismatch, capacitive or inductive parasitic, power\/ground integrity, etc., could not be a big concern at old generation SerDes, but could be an issue at a high-speed SerDes system and requires a careful design\/verification to mitigate the impairments.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis presentation will begin with providing an introduction of a wireline serial link, including a few impairments. Then move forward with a few circuit design techniques to mitigate those impairments. The corresponding SerDes system and circuit design techniques would be explored during the iterations between those impairments and rearchitecting process. A further Q\u0026amp;A discussion will be performed in the end of this presentation.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003EChung-Chun (CC)\u0026nbsp;Chen\u0026nbsp;has been with Silicon Creations since 2011 and is a principal circuit architect for SerDes IO interface.\u0026nbsp;Currently, CC\u0026nbsp;leads SerDes team as a Director of Analog\/Mixed-Signal Design\u0026nbsp;at Silicon Creations in Atlanta, Georgia.\u0026nbsp;Before joining Silicon Creations, he was a research staff member at\u0026nbsp;Samsung Electro-Mechanics\u0026nbsp;design center\u0026nbsp;in Atlanta, Georgia, and he was a principal engineer at TSMC\u0026nbsp;in Hsinchu, Taiwan,\u0026nbsp;where he worked on clocking architecture design and related customer support.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EChung-Chun (CC) Chen (S\u0026rsquo;02\u0026ndash;M\u0026rsquo;09\u0026ndash;SM\u0026rsquo;17) was born in Taipei, Taiwan, in 1979. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, in 2004 and 2009, respectively. His current research interests focus on circuit designs in clocking and other SerDes building blocks for high-speed communication systems.\u0026nbsp;He has published over 15 papers in peer-reviewed conferences and journals.
