Abstract :
This paper introduces SiGe-based low-noise differential transimpedance amplifiers (TIA) with transimpedance gain of 63dB for 10Gb/s link. A limiting amplifier (LA) is designed to amplify the signal after TIA. The LA gives a differential output with 0.4 VPP. Total power consumption of the TIA and the LA is 60 mW.
