Abstract

A low-power voltage-mode driver is designed for cmos image sensor (CIS) applications in 65nm CMOS technology. Compared with current-mode logic (CML) driver, the voltage-mode logic (VML) driver consumes less power widely used in high-speed serial links. A comparison between these two types of drivers is simply introduced. The proposed driver topology can work at up to 10 Gb/s data rates. The whole driver occupies an area of 123.5µm × 95.5µm, and the area of each driver slice is 34.4µm × 12.5µm. Working at a power supply voltage of 0.8V, the driver dissipates power consumption of 4.9mW while exhibiting a 400mv output voltage swing.
