A Low-Power CMOS Optical Communication Front-End Using a Three-Stage TIA for 5Gb/s Applications

In this paper, an optical communication receiver system for 5Gbps applications is proposed concerning power consumption. An inductor-less circuit in three-stages is proposed as the trans-impedance amplifier (TIA), which benefits from the inherent low input resistance of a common gate topology as the first stage. By forming two zeros in this TIA, proper frequency response […]
