Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of integrated circuit technology, and particularly relates to an analog multiplexer. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid expansion of broadband services and applications such as video streams and cloud computing, the communication traffic in optical networks is accelerating. To sustain the growing traffic, the transmission capacity per channel is expected to exceed 1 Tb / s in the near future. The channel capacity is defined as the product of the symbol rate and the signal modulation order. Therefore, the channel capacity can be increased by increasing the symbol rate or the modulation order. Considering the limitation of the optical signal-to-noise ratio faced by high-order modulation with increasing transmission distance, it is more beneficial to increase the symbol rate while maintaining a low modulation order. To achieve a single-channel data transmission rate of 400 Gb / s and maintain a modulation order of 4 bit / symbol (coding rate), the symbol rate needs to reach above 120 Gbaud (baud rate). Correspondingly, this requires the ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) module and DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) module in the optical transceiver to have a sampling rate of at least 120 GS / s and an analog bandwidth of 60 GHz.
[0003] However, so far, the existing ADCs and DACs fabricated only based on the CMOS process can reach a maximum sampling rate of 97 GS / s and an analog bandwidth of 40 GHz, which is far from sufficient for the communication rate to be achieved. By designing and fabricating ADCs and DACs through the SiGe BiCMOS process and InP (Indium Phosphide) Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, higher sampling rates and larger analog bandwidths can be obtained, which can meet the communication requirements. The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) module is often used in optical communication devices. Usually, the DSP module and the ADC / DAC module need to be integrated together, and the DSP module is generally fabricated using the CMOS process. Since components fabricated using different processes cannot be integrated together, the ADCs and DACs fabricated using these two manufacturing processes and the DSP module fabricated using the CMOS process cannot be integrated together, which cannot meet the requirements of the current optical communication system for the transmission rate.

In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "embodiment" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, the specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments may be combined in any suitable form.
[0050] The following will be combined with Figures 1 to 6 Describe an analog multiplexer proposed according to some embodiments of the present application.
[0051] In one embodiment, asFigure 1 As shown in the figure, a simulation multiplexer includes a plurality of data input buffers 11, a clock input buffer 12, a core multiplexer 13, and a data output buffer 14. Among them,

[0053] Each data input buffer 11 is used to perform shifting and isolation processing on the signal output by the digital-to-analog conversion module 30 to obtain a set of differential input signals. The clock input buffer 12 is used to amplify the signal output by the clock signal module to obtain a clock input signal. The core multiplexer 13 is used to select and output one set of signals from multiple sets of differential input signals according to the clock input signal. The data output buffer 14 is used to amplify the signal output by the core multiplexer 13 to obtain an output signal and output it to the optoelectronic device 20.

Different groups of differential input signals are output through three clock signals, implementing a 4:1 analog multiplexer.
[0056] Compared with the prior art, an analog multiplexer provided by the present application is fabricated using the SiGe BiCMOS process and is connected between a digital-to-analog conversion module fabricated using the CMOS process and an optoelectronic device. By connecting each of multiple data input buffers to one digital-to-analog conversion module, each data input buffer processes the signal of a digital-to-analog conversion module through offset and amplification as a group of differential input data and sends it to the data input terminal of the core multiplexer. The clock buffer processes the clock initial signal of the clock signal module through amplification as the clock signal and sends it to the core multiplexer. The core multiplexer selects different groups of differential input signals as the output according to the high and low levels of the clock signal and transmits them to the optoelectronic device through the data output buffer, improving the analog bandwidth of the data, further increasing the sampling rate, and meeting the requirements of high transmission rate in the optical communication system.

[0093] As Figure 7 shown, the 2:1 analog multiplexer can be represented as an equivalent model consisting of two multipliers and a linear adder. In the time domain, the two analog inputs are multiplexed in two paths by the differential clock signal, and finally the analog multiplexer outputs a sum signal. In the frequency domain, the clock has two components: direct current (DC) and f clk , and the impulse amplitude ratio r between f clk and DC depends on the waveform of the clock signal. If it is a square-wave clock, then r = 2 / π; if it is a sine-wave clock, then r = 1 / 2. Meanwhile, the bandwidth of each analog input signal is f clk / 2. The output signal of each multiplier is the convolution of the analog input signal and the spectrum of the clock signal. Then, the analog multiplexer outputs a sum signal containing all the frequency components from these two multipliers.
[0094] As Figure 8As shown, through digital preprocessing, the target signal with a bandwidth of f B is divided into a lower-band signal and an upper-band signal. Then, the upper-band signal is flipped with f B / 2 as the boundary and multiplied by the amplitude factor 1 / r. The processed upper and lower-band signals are respectively subjected to addition and subtraction operations. The obtained signals respectively pass through two DACs with an analog bandwidth of f B / 2. The signals after DAC processing enter a 2:1 analog multiplexer and are multiplexed in two channels under the control of a clock signal with a frequency of f B . The input signal and the signal after convolution of the clock signal are linearly added to obtain the output signal. The signal exceeding f B is filtered by a low-pass filter to obtain the target signal, which is twice the analog bandwidth of the DAC.
