Abstract

Summary form only given. Application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) based on CMOS can perform a variety of signal processing tasks and act as an efficient interface between optoelectronic chips and the more traditional electronic circuits. This paper deals with the design of a CMOS chip that includes several basic blocks for demonstration of analog current mode processing functionalities with digital accuracy. The chip was fabricated through the MOSIS service with the AMI 1.2 technology and was tested with an optoelectronic array chip consisting of 16 VCSELs and 16 metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) detectors to implement an optoelectronic feedback loop.
