Abstract :
A novel monolithic multigigabit/s Si integrated decision circuit for applications in fibre-optic systems is proposed. Circuit simulations are reported which demonstrate the performance at 2.24 Gbit/s if a fast Si bipolar technology with 2.5 ¿m design rules and pn-junction isolation is chosen.
