In this thesis, the design of a high speed serial link transceiver is presented. The major factors limiting the performance of high-speed transceivers are the bandwidth of the channel. We use a combination of a 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (4-PAM) to reduce the symbol rate to half that of the conventional 2-PAM and high frequency clocks are avoided by multiplexing and de-multiplexing the data directly at the pads. The parallel pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) generator for chip self test are examined. The design achieves a 10Gb/s data rate.
