Broadband Opto-Electrical Receivers in Standard CMOS

Broadband Opto-Electrical Receivers in Standard CMOS starts from the basic fundamentals necessary for the design of opto-electronic interface circuits. The book continues with an in-depth analysis of the photodiode, transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and limiting amplifier (LA). To thoroughly understand the light detection mechanisms in silicon, first a one-dimensional and second a two-dimensional model is developed. Analytical design equations are derived to guide the design of the amplifying ...
