Abstract :
With the increasing demand for interconnection bandwidth, there is a tremendous interest in low cost optoelectronic integration for high speed interconnects. We present an important step towards this end through our design of a fully integrated opto-electronic detector-receiver circuit. We believe our low voltage supply opto-electronic circuit is the first to be completely integrated in a silicon-based commercial logic process. We obtain operation at 250MHz in 0.25mum technology with a power consumption of 4mW
