Abstract

A low-power (1.92 pJ/bit), high-speed (100 Gb/s), equalizer-free, 4 -lane single-ended transceiver that leverages machine learning principles for crosstalk compensation is proposed. The transceiver uses feature extraction and on-chip classification. It achieves more than 0.2 UI horizontal opening for BER−12. The classification compensates the crosstalk from 3 aggressors and −15 dB far-end crosstalk power sum. The classification only accounts for 7% of the total transceiver power.
