“…As introduced in Section II-C, the coefficients of a fifth-order Butterworth polynomial can be computed as [12]. Therefore, we can write the coefficients of the denominator of (14) as (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) where and are given in (13), is the cutoff frequency of the whole amplifier with matching network. Our design goal is to achieve , i.e., 9 GHz.…”

“…Over the past decade, single-ended TIA implementations for optical transmission systems and operating at bit rates in excess of 10 Gb/s have been reported [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Although this is relatively the simplest way to design photoreceivers, a single-ended configuration is inherent to common mode noise leading to higher error rates on bits, especially with weak signals.…”

“…Although circuit performance at 10-Gb/s and higher has already been demonstrated for more than a decade [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], high-speed design techniques are still investigated to improve system's performance. In fact in 1990, Hans-Martin Rein [5] has provided a good review of circuit architectures suitable for high-speed communication systems.…”

Actually, the majority of gigabit TIA designs have so far focused on the design-tradeoffs of the TIA such as transimpedance gain, bandwidth, noise, dynamic range, power dissipation, etc.…”

We propose a Design for Stability (DFS) methodology dedicated to the design of reliable high-speed integrated photoreceiver front-ends. This methodology based on the stability factor, S-parameters and Z -parameters analysis is made of four rules that high-speed designers will apply during the stability check of their design. To demonstrate its effectiveness, the proposed DFS methodology was applied to build a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) compliant to Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) OC-192 (10-Gb/s) standard. Experimental results in agreement with initial design specifications show excellent performances such as: 11 GHz bandwidth, −20 dBm sensitivity measured at 10-Gb/s for a Bit Error Rate (BER) of 10 −9 and 10 ps peak-to-peak jitter.

“…The SF architecture suffers from poor overload performance when a large feedback resistor is employed to achieve high gain and low noise operation [3]. However, wide dynamic range can be achieved by applying an automatic gain control (AGC) function to the SF TIA [4] or cascading the SF TIA with a limiting amplifier (LA) to generate a wide dynamic range non-linear transfer characteristic [5]. These techniques are necessary to satisfy the 10 GE specifications listed in Table 1 [6].…”

This paper presents the design and implementation of a new wide dynamic range parallel feedback (PF) transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for 10 Gb/s optical links. The wide dynamic range is attributed to the novel TIA architecture employing both shunt-shunt and shunt-series feedback networks. The outstanding features of the TIA are wide dynamic range, high gain, low power consumption and design simplicity. A prototype implemented in a 0.5 µm SiGe BiCMOS technology and operating at −3.3 V power supply features an 18.4 dBm dynamic range with a BER less than 10 −12 , an optical sensitivity of −16 dBm, optical overload of +2.4 dBm, a bandwidth of 8.27 GHz, a gain of 950 and a power consumption of 189 mW. The new parallel feedback architecture offers improved overload and noise performance when compared to previously reported, state of the art, single feedback TIA designs and meets all the 10 Gigabit Ethernet and short-reach OC-192 SONET specifications.
