While the throughput of microprocessor systems tends to increase as a result of ongoing technology scaling and the advent of multi-core systems, the off-chip I/O communication bandwidth emerges as one of the potential bottlenecks that limit overall performance. In order to alleviate the communication speed constraints, optical data communication interfaces move ever closer to the processor core. It is widely expected that future generation digital systems will increasingly rely on chip-to-chip and board-to-board optical data communications for higher bandwidth and better noise immunity. This book focuses on optical communications for short and very short distance applications and discusses the monolithic integration of optical receivers with processing elements in standard CMOS technologies. "CMOS Multi-Channel Single-Chip Receivers for Multi-Gigabit Optical Data Communications" provides the reader with the necessary background knowledge to fully understand the trade-offs in short-distance communication receiver design and presents the key issues to be addressed in the development of such receivers in CMOS technologies. Moreover, novel design approaches are presented. A system-level design methodology allows for the impact analysis of different block specifications and system-wide design optimization. Statistical models are used for design space exploration in the scope of jitter tolerance analysis of clock recovery circuits. "CMOS Multi-Channel Single-Chip Receivers for Multi-Gigabit Optical Data Communications" is required reading for practicing engineers and researchers in the field of short-distance optical communications and optical CMOS receiver design.
People go about their daily tasks with an in-built awareness of their social and physical environments. This awareness helps them to work cooperatively in groups, coordinate actions, and to maintain and enhance social communication with others. Networked technology has extended the reach of people's awareness to remote and distributed groups and...
This book has been designed to help the practicing clinician to appropriately select and interpret diagnostic tests without the burden of information useful only to the pathologist or laboratory. In outline format with tables and charts, the book presents a large volume of information that can be quickly reviewed. The focus is on...
Takes a straightforward, hands-on approach to explain everything you need to know from development to deployment and maintenance for this platform-all from a developer's perspective. Softcover. CD-ROM included.
Enterprise-class .NET programming in C#—from a developer's perspective.
The aim of this book is to give a user friendly tutorial of an interdisciplinary research topic (fronts in random media) to senior undergraduates and beginning graduate students with basic knowledge of partial differential equations (PDE) and probability. The approach taken is semi-formal, using elementary methods to introduce ideas and motivate...
