Abstract :
This paper discusses a photodiode/preamplifier IC designed for optical data storage systems. The IC consists of eight photodiodes with programmable gain stages. With the chosen topology high signal bandwidth is achieved in combination with the capability to handle large dynamic signal ranges. The PDIC is made in a standard available IC process.
