  • Abstract
    An optical receiver front-end consisting of a transimpedance amplifier and two post amplifiers consumes 1 mW from a 1 V supply and provides 210 k/spl Omega/ transimpedance gain at 75 Mb/s. A test chip in standard 0.35 /spl mu/m CMOS without low-threshold devices incorporates a charge pump for the biasing and tuning of MOS resistors.
