  • Abstract
    In this paper, a monolithic CMOS optical receiver designed in a 0.18mum digital process suitable for 10GBase-LX4 optical fiber transmissions is described. The system is based on CMOS actively loaded inverter structures and works with a single 1.8 V supply voltage. The thermal effects are minimized between -20 and 80 degC by using two different compensation techniques. The design presents optimized area and power consumption.
