Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The explosive growth of data traffic requires advances in both high-performance computing systems and data communication systems. Especially, the requirement of high-performance data communication systems is being emphasized more than ever, because of ever-increasing demand for data throughput in every computing system. A microprocessor with memory constituting a tiny computing system is now required to handle several hundreds of gigabits per second, and this is growing at a relentless rate. Similar trends are also occurring in longer-distance applications such as inter-server and long-haul communications. However, at the same time, the channel loss of electrical wires is becoming very significant as the required data rate increases, and I/O interfaces are facing many challenges. It will be tougher as the scaling ends because we will no longer be able to take advantage of faster transistors.The aim of this Special issue is to present circuit and architecture level techniques and to guide technology directions for the years to come. The topics to be covered in this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Design techniques for high-speed I/O transmitters, receivers, and transceivers;
- Building blocks for NRZ/PAM-N/DSP-based I/O transceivers;
- Low-power I/O circuit techniques;
- Memory interfaces;
- Clock generation/distribution/recovery circuits;
- Circuits and architectures for optical interconnect for computer communications

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
