ResumoAn instantaneous response CMOS optical-receiver IC is described with wide input dynamic range and high sensitivity. In a TCM (time compression multiplexing)-TDMA (time division multiple access) fiber-optic subscriber system, a receiver should be able to handle burst-data packets with different amplitude. This requires quick response and a wide dynamic range. Instantaneous response is achieved with a new feed-forward auto-bias adjustment technique. In addition, multistaged offset compensation provides a wide dynamic range without any external elements and adjustments. Using these design techniques, an optical receiver IC was fabricated in a standard 0.8-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. The receiver has a wide dynamic range of more than 25 dB for burst-mode optical input at 29 Mb/s. It has high transimpedance gain of 150 dB/spl Omega/ and high sensitivity of -42 dBm with stable operation for FET threshold voltage and power supply voltage fluctuation. >
