Abstract
A 1.6 Gb/s receiver for optical communication has been designed and fabricated in a 0.25-μm CMOS process. This receiver has no transimpedance amplifier and uses the parasitic capacitor of the flip-chip bonded photodetector as an integrating element and resolves the data with a double-sampling technique. A simple feedback loop adjusts a bias current to the average optical signal, which essentially "AC couples" the input. The resulting receiver resolves an 11 μA input, dissipates 3 mW of power, occupies 80 μm x 50 μm of area and operates at over 1.6 Gb/s.
