Abstract
This paper presents a monolithic
optical detector, consisting of an integrated
photodiode and a pre-amplifier in a standard
0.18μm CMOS technology. 3Gb/s data-rate was
achieved at λ=850nm with an average optical
power of 25 μW and BER10-11. This data-rate is
over half an order of magnitude higher than that
of current state-of-the-art optical detectors in
standard CMOS.
High speed operation is achieved without
reducing circuit responsivity by using an
inherently robust analog equalizer that
compensates (in gain and phase) for the
photodiode roll-off in the range from 1 MHz to 1
GHz. The presented solution is applicable to
various photodiode structures, wavelengths and
CMOS generations.
