Abstract :
A selective internal reset mechanism that allows the burst-mode TIA to recover a burst-mode signal as a stand-alone device in EPON is discussed. Using step AGC, the TIA achieves a DR of 27dB and a sensitivity of -31dBm with a PIN photodiode. Moreover, with internal reset, the loud/soft ratio is also 27dB within 100ns guard and preamble times.
