Title
An 85dB dynamic range transimpedance amplifier in 40nm CMOS technology
Abstract
A transimpedance amplifier (TIA with a nominal bandwidth of 280MHz, maximum gain of 2.5kΩ, 85dB dynamic range, 220nA rms equivalent input noise current and a high maximum input current (4mA) overdrive capability) for use with a monitor photodiode inside a packaged communication laser diode is proposed in this work. To enhance the overdrive capabilities of the TIA, a compression technique of the high input current is implemented. The proposed TIA has two regions of operation: a linear region, when the input current is small and a compression region, when the input current is high to prevent the TIA from entering saturation. The TIA is optimized for an external highly capacitive photodiode (≈15pF). The TIA is designed in 40nm CMOS.
