Abstract :
A 40-Gb/s transimpedance amplifier (TIA) is realized in 0.18-μm CMOS technology. From the measured S-parameters, a transimpedance gain of 51.0 dBΩ and a 3-dB bandwidth up to 30.5 GHz (~0.5 fT) were observed. To the best of authors´ knowledge, the TIA presents the widest bandwidth and highest GBP/Pdc of 180.1 GHzΩ/mW among the published results with similar technologies. A new bandwidth enhancement technique, π-type inductor peaking (PIP), is proposed, which gives a bandwidth enhancement factor of 3.31 without disturbing the low-frequency gain. Under a 1.8 V supply voltage, the TIA consumes 60.1 mW with a chip area of 1.17 x 0.46 mm2.
