High-Speed Optical Receivers with Integrated Photodiode in Nanoscale CMOS

Download or read book High-Speed Optical Receivers with Integrated Photodiode in Nanoscale CMOS written by Filip Tavernier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
