Introduction • Our project is to design a 4 bit serial to parallel data stream converter
Project Specification • 25Mhz Clock • 50% clock duty cycle • Power is less than 500 mW • Vth = 2.5 V • Output Buffer drives 10pF load • Area is less than 40 mm^2
Schmitt Trigger • Reduces the noise at the input • Wnf = 8 um • Wpf = 225 um
Clock • to take a serial stream at 25Mhz: - clock period = 40ns - for minimizing the skew, a fat bus was used for clock - Pick up 1/10 of the clk period for the Tf and Tr for 4ns
