Design of 10 GHz CMOS Optoelectronic Receiver Analog Front-End in Low-Cost 0.18 µm CMOS Technology

Description

This paper presents an analog front-end circuit for an optical receiver, which consists of a trans-impedance amplifier (TIA), a limiting amplifier (LA) and an output buffer fabricated in a low-cost 0.18 µm CMOS technology. The introduced TIA uses a floating active inductor (FAI) based on gyrator-C structure, which is why it can increase the bandwidth while occupying a smaller chip area. The proposed transimpedance amplifier achieves a transimpedance gain of 41 dBΩ and −3 dB frequency of 10 GHz with 0.1 pF total input capacitance. In addition, the TIA with the post limiting amplifier increases the gain to over 70 dBΩ and the bandwidth is still above 10 GHz.
