High-Speed Optical Receivers with Integrated Photodiode in Nanoscale CMOS

by Filip Tavernier and Michiel Steyaert

Book Overview

This book describes the design of optical receivers that use the most economical integration technology, while enabling performance that is typically only found in very expensive devices. To achieve this, all necessary functionality, from light detection to digital output, is integrated on a single piece of silicon. All building blocks are thoroughly discussed, including photodiodes, transimpedance amplifiers, equalizers and post amplifiers.
