  • Abstract
    A 10 Gbit/s burst-mode post-amplifier with automatic reset generation is presented. The reset signal is created by measuring the time since the last 1. This mechanism is suitable for high bit rate long-reach PONs where the guard time exceeds the maximum time of consecutive identical bits. The post-amplifier consists of four gain stages with automatic offset compensation and an output buffer. It obtains 40 dB gain with 7 GHz bandwidth and consumes 1.1 W from a 2.7 V supply.
