This paper presents a 40–80 Gb/s quarter rate PAM4 wireline transmitter. The transmitter incorporates a 2-tap feed-forward equalizer (FFE) based on multiple-multiplex (MUX) and a parallel PRBS7 generator. The transmitter is achieved in 65nm CMOS technology and supplied with 1.2V. The simulation results show that the proposed transmitter can work at 40–80 Gb/s with 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) and consumes 173mW at 80 Gb/s.
