Title
A 12.5 Gb/s 1.38 mW Inverter-Based Optical Receiver in 28 nm CMOS
Abstract
An optical receiver employs an all-inverter-based front-end design that provides maximum transconductance for a given power supply and allows for ultra-low power consumption. A multi-stage transimpedance amplifier (TIA) feedback amplifier is utilized to achieve a dramatic increase in feedback resistance and lower input-referred noise. Cascading an inverter-based continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) provides frequency peaking to compensate the input stage TIA that is intentionally designed with a reduced bandwidth to achieve adequate sensitivity at low power. Fabricated in 28 nm CMOS, the 12.5 Gb/s optical receiver achieves -10.7 dBm OMA sensitivity at 0.11 pJ/bit energy efficiency.
