Abstract

Encoder/decoder circuits operational up to 1.3 Gb/s have been realized in Si-bipolar technology. The current consumption is 95 mA resp. 125 mA at 4.3 V. The structures utilize new architectures, to our knowledge, never published before. The circuits are aimed for applications in parallel fiber optical communication links to achieve true DC-coupled transmission
