Abstract
A desirable feature of a SERDES design is power savings. One way to achieve power savings is by keeping the CDR circuit OFF during most of the time when a link is active between a transmitter and a receiver. However, due to voltage supply noise, temperature fluctuations and uncorrelated crosstalk, the receiver data may shift and/or the eye may collapse if the CDR is not turned ON to take care of these modulations. To address such disadvantages, it is proposed to generate a CDR profile that can specify optimum CDR ON and OFF time so that link stability may be maintained while saving power.
