On-wafer tests are developed to determine the maximum operating bit rate of the equalizer. Results are also presented for intersymbol interference mitigation at 80 Gb/s for a 20 GHz bandwidth-limited channel. Further improvements on the architecture of the 80 Gb/s equalizer are discussed and used in the design and on-wafer measurement of a 110 Gb/s equalizer. The equalizers are designed in a 0.13 μm SiGe:C BiCMOS technology. The 80 and 110 Gb/s versions dissipate 4 and 5.75 W, respectively and occupy 2 and 2.56 mm 2 , respectively. 2014 eng 1558-173X10.1109/JSSC.2013.2285385 Vol.49No.2452-470 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6648461 Awny, Ahmed, et al. “Design and Measurement Techniques for an 80 Gb/s 1-Tap Decision Feedback Equalizer.” <i>IEEE JOURNAL OF SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS</i>, vol.
