A fully-integrated double-channel 5-Gb/s/ch 2:1 serializer array is designed and fabricated in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS technology, which can be easily expanded to any even-number-channel array, e.g. 12 channels, by means of arrangement in a parallel manner. Besides two conventional half-rate 2:1 serializers, both phase-locked loop and delay-locked loop techniques are employed locally to deal with the involved clocking-related issues, which make the serializer array self-contained, compact and automatic. The system architecture, circuit and layout designs are discussed and analyzed in detail. The chip occupies a die area of 673 μm×667 μm with a core width of only 450 μm. Measurement results show that it works properly without a need for additional clock channels, reference clocks, off-chip tuning, external components, and so on. From a single supply of 1.8 V, a power of 200 mW is consumed and a single-ended swing of above 300 mV for each channel is achieved.
