Download or read book Broadband Opto-Electrical Receivers in Standard CMOS written by Carolien Hermans and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-06-13 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book opens with the basics of the design of opto-electronic interface circuits. The text continues with an in-depth analysis of the photodiode, transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and limiting amplifier (LA). To thoroughly describe light detection mechanisms in silicon, first a one-dimensional and second a two-dimensional model is developed. All material is experimentally verified with several CMOS implementations, with ultimately a fully integrated Gbit/s optical receiver front-end including photodiode, TIA and LA.
