Design of Broadband Integrated Circuits for Energy-Adaptive Optical Onboard Links for Inter-Chip Communication (A07)

HAEC A07将与A10(封装)和A11(调制器)一起研究在从晶体管到系统级的光链路中具有独特的多维性能和能量自适应的新方法。高阶调制方案将通过设计新型自适应高速节能调制器驱动器来实现，该驱动器具有完全集成的高度复杂的电光调制系统，将与前沿电光技术中的调制器单片集成。将研究系统级、通过在不同调制级别之间切换和在电路级上的性能自适应，从而显著节省能源。

HAEC A07 will investigate together with A10 (packaging) and A11 (modulator) a new approach with unique multi-dimensional performance and energy adaptivity in the optical onboard link from transistor up to system level. Higher-order modulation schemes will be realized by designing novel adaptive high-speed energy-efficient modulator drivers with fully-integrated highly-complex electro-optical modulation systems which will be monolithically integrated with modulators in leading-edge electro-photonic technology. Performance adaptivity on system level, by switching between different modulation levels, and on circuit level will be studied, leading to significant energy savings.
