초록

본 논문에서는 TP 케이블을 이용하여 100Mbps의 전송 속도를 지원하는 100Base-TX Ethernet 수신기의 디지털 신호 처리부를 제안하였다. 제안하는 디지털 신호 처리부는 자동 이득 조절기, 심볼 동기 복원기, 적응 등화기, BLW 보정기로 구성되어 있으며 초기 위상에 상관없이 150m까지 $10^{-12}BER$이하의 성능을 보였다. 제안하는 신호 처리부는 일부 블록을 제외한 모든 부분을 디지털로 구현하였으며 적응 등화기와 BLW 보정기 연동 구조는 기존의 적응 등화기 에러 값을 이용하는 구조에 비하여 MSE가 약 1dB정도의 성능 향상을 가져왔다. 설계한 디지털 신호 처리부는 Verilog-HDL로 구현되었으며 삼성 $0.18{\mu}m$ 라이브러리를 사용하여 합성 결과 동작 속도는 7.01ns 이며 총 게이트 수는 128.528 게이트였다.

This paper presents the digital signal processing submodule of a 100Base-TX Ethernet receiver to support 100Mbps at TP cable channel. The proposed submodule consists of programmable gain controller, timing recovery, adaptive equalizer and baseline wander compensator. The measured Bit Error Rate is less than $10^{-12}BER$ when continuously receiving data up to 150m. The proposed signal processing submodule is implemented in digital circuits except for PLL and amplifier. The performance improvement of the proposed equalizer and BLW compensator is measured about 1dB compared with the existing architecture that removes BLW using errors of an adaptive equalizer. The architecture has been modeled using Verilog-HDL and synthesized using samsung $0.18{\mu}m$ cell library. The implemented digital signal processing submodule operates at 142.7 MHz and the total number of gates are about 128,528.
