Programme overview
This course provides 5 days of 2 hour lectures / day from Prof. Hanumolu focusing on Clocking in Wireline SERDES Transceivers design, in which he is an accomplished researcher. It is the second SERDES design course following the Signaling course in December.
Learning outcomes
- Latest clocking techniques in high speed serial interface design
Who is the course for?
Experienced analog IC designers, who wish to deepen their knowledge about signaling in high speed serial interface design and learn from a world class expert on this topic.
Schedule
2 hour online class each day, 2pm to 4pm, on Monday to Friday 4th to 8th Jan 2021. This is Part II of a two course series on this topic focused on Clocking (Part I focused on Signaling is being held in December):
Clock generation
1. Fundamentals of phase-locked loops (PLLs)
2. Advanced PLL architectures
3. Fractional-N PLLs
Clock & data recovery
1. CDR fundamentals
2. Phase/frequency detectors
3. D/PLL-based CDRs
4. Baud-rate CDRs
