Abstract :
The sensor realised in a low-cost 0.6 μm BiCMOS process includes a 400 μm-diameter photodiode. By parallelising the input transistor a minimum average optical input power of -24.7 dBm at a data rate of 300 Mbit/s is achieved. The power consumption of the transimpedance amplifier is less than 6 mW.
