A line coding for high speed serial transmission is defined by two major characteristics: the maximum guaranteed run length (RL) which is the number of consecutive identical bits, and the running disparity (RD or DC-Balance) which is the difference between the number of 'zeroes' and 'ones' in a frame. Both should be bounded to a certain limit, RL to ensure reliable clock recovery and RD to limit baseline wander. Another important parameter is the overhead predictability. This parameter may be critical for applications that need a regular synchronization but for other applications, especially if the variable transfer rate is handled by the upper layer protocol, a statistical value of this parameter is good enough. In this paper, we propose two programmable line codings which bound RL and RD with fixed or variable overhead. The resulting overhead for the line coding we propose is shown to be the lowest among the existing methods, as much as to 10 times lower than well-known encoding methods. The fixed overhead line coding is based on a generalization of the polarity bit approach and can be dynamically adapted to link quality and the environment. First we propose a line coding which bounds the RL, and then we propose another one which bounds the RD. We end up by combining both methods to build a DC-balanced and Run Length limited line coding.

Bang-bang phase detector studies were carried out in this thesis. Based on the comparison of linear and non-linear phase detectors, a hybrid phase detector was proposed. It possesses the characteristics of two-XOR phase detectors and improved bang-bang phase detectors. PLLs with the proposed hybrid phase detector possess low timing jitter in lock states and a fast locking process. The effectiveness of the proposed hybrid phase detector was quantified by comparing the performance of three PLLs with identical loop components but different phase detectors. A new bang-bang phase detector with regenerative DFFs was also proposed. The regenerative bang-bang phase detector ensures a fast acquisition of incoming clocks. The effectiveness of the regenerative phase detector was assessed in a 2GHz PLL. A 1X bang-bang phase detector was proposed also. Compared to a 2X bang-bang phase detector, PLLs with a 1X bang-bang phase detector offer faster locking. A DFF frequency detector and a charge-pump frequency detector were also proposed. Both effectively detect the frequency difference.
