A high-frequency jitter tolerant receiver in 65 nm CMOS is presented. Jitter tolerance is improved by tracking correlated jitter using a pulsed clock forwarded from the transmitter side. The clock receiver comprises two injection locked oscillators to frequency-multiply, deskew, and adjust jitter tracking bandwidth. Different data rates and latency mismatch between the clock and data paths are accommodated by a jitter tracking bandwidth that is controllable up to 300 MHz. Each receiver consumes 0.92 pJ/bit operating at 7.4 Gb/s and has a jitter tolerance of 1.5 UI at 200 MHz.
