Abstract:This paper addresses the optimization of the interface between the photodetector (PD) and the analog frontend (AFE) in high-speed, high-density optical communication receivers. Specifically, the paper focuses on optimizing design elements in the interface, including the interconnecting transmission line, the T-coil, the transimpedance amplifier (TIA), and digital equalization tap weights. To optimize the optical link, we use a combination of analytical models, electromagnetic simulations (EM), and machine lear… Show more
