摘要: A fully integrated 10-Gb/s optical receiver analog front-end (AFE) design that includes a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and a limiting amplifier (LA) is demonstrated to require less chip area and is suitable for both low-cost and low-voltage applications. The AFE is fabricated using a 0.18-mu m CMOS technology. The tiny photo current received by the receiver AFE is amplified to a differential voltage swing of 400 mV((pp)). In order to avoid off-chip noise interference, the TIA and LA are dc-coupled on the chip instead of ac-coupled though a large external capacitor. The receiver front-end provides a conversion gain of up to 87 dB Omega and -3 dB bandwidth of 7.6 GHz. The measured sensitivity of the optical receiver is -12 dBm at a bit-error rate of 10(-12) with a 2(31) -1 pseudorandom test pattern. Three-dimensional symmetric transformers are utilized in the AFE design for bandwidth enhancement. Operating under a 1.8-V supply, the power dissipation is 210 mW, and the chip size is 1028 mu m x 1796 mu m.
