摘要
Two optical front-ends implemented in a standard 0.18mum CMOS technology are presented. They differ mainly in layout topology of the photodiode. The front-end with classical n-well diode achieves a bitrate of 300Mbit/s. At an input power of -8dBm, the BER is 2 (.) 10(-10). The front-end with differential n-well diode outperforms the classical n-well topology and reaches bitrates up to 500Mbit/s. At this speed, an input power of -8dBm is sufficient to have a BER of 3(.)10(-10). Both front-ends consume only 17mW.
