Abstract :
A 3 V 10.7 Gb/s differential laser diode driver fabricated on a 0.35 μm SiGe bipolar process is presented. A feedback-amplifier output stage provides both differential and common-mode active back termination of the output transmission lines with 80 mA maximum modulation current. Rise and fall times of 28 ps are achieved, and typical power dissipation is 0.67 W for Imod=40 mA.
