    • 为改善传统模拟自适应连续时间线性均衡器(Continuous Time Lineqar Equalizer, CTLE)对PVT变化敏感及数字自适应CTLE硬件开销过大、自适应时间过长等缺点,为MIPI D-PHY高速接口提出了一种在6 Gbps数据速率下的快速自适应CTLE。基于MIPI D-PHY协议具有同步DDR采样时钟通道的特点,该CTLE通过设置不同的参考电压并将采样时刻均衡后数据信号的电压与参考电压比较来找到最优的均衡参数,并在过程中引入二进制搜索算法以减小自适应时间。基于TSMC 65 nm CMOS工艺对电路进行设计,1.2 V电源电压,数据速率6 Gbps。仿真结果显示,该电路可自适应补偿0 ~ 15 dB@3 GHz信道的衰减,自适应时间为32 μs,经自适应均衡后的眼图符合MIPI D-PHY 3.0协议标准。该电路具有自适应时间短、占用面积小,寻优算法简单等特点,为MIPI D-PHY专用CTLE提出了一种新选择。

       

      Abstract: To address the drawbacks of traditional analog adaptive CTLE(Continuous Time Lineqar Equalizer), such as high sensitivity to PVT variations, and the excessive hardware overhead and long adaptation time of digital adaptive CTLE, a fast adaptive CTLE for the MIPI D-PHY high-speed interface at a data rate of 6 Gbps is proposed. According to the MIPI D-PHY specification, the interface features synchronized DDR sampling clock channels. this CTLE determines the optimal equalization parameters by setting different reference voltages and comparing the reference voltage at the sampling instant with the voltage of the equalized data signal. A binary search algorithm is introduced to reduce the adaptation time. The circuit is designed in TSMC 65 nm CMOS process with a 1.2 V supply voltage and a data rate of 6 Gbps. Simulation results show that the circuit can adaptively compensate for channel loss of 0 - 15 dB at 3 GHz, with an adaptation time of 32 microseconds. The equalized eye diagram meets the MIPI D-PHY 3.0 specification. This circuit features a short adaptation time, small area occupancy, and a simple optimization algorithm, providing a new option for MIPI D-PHY dedicated CTLE designs.
