In this paper, we present a 10 Gbase Ethernet Transceiver that is suitable for 10 Gb/s Ethernet applications. The 10 Gbase Ethernet Transceiver LSI, which contains the high-speed interface and the fully integrated IEEE 802.3ae compliant logics, is fabricated in a 0.18 µm SOI/CMOS process and dissipates 2.9 W at 1.8 V supply. By incorporating the monolithic approach and the use of the advance CMOS process, this 10 GbE transceiver realizes a low power, low cost and compact solution for the exponentially increasing need of broadband network applications.
