The data integrity that the SerDes offers is predominantly due to the Clock and Data Recovery Circuit (CDR)
employed within the design. The CDR takes the incoming data and generates a clock using the data specs which can then be
used by the deserializer to sample the data accurately. This paper looks into the basic principles of operation of Phase
Locked Loops, Clock and Data recovery circuits and their building blocks for a 2 Gbps SerDes link with high jitter tolerance.
Implementation of differential mode VCO with low gain to reduce the jitter. It summarizes the challenges in design and also
presents a Cadence approach to the circuit design in 180 nm CMOS technology.
