Av. Krishnamoorthy et al., OPERATION OF A SINGLE-ENDED 550 MBIT S, 41FJ, HYBRID CMOS/MQW RECEIVER-TRANSMITTER/, Electronics Letters, 32(8), 1996, pp. 764-766
A single-ended, asynchronous, transimpedance receiver-transmitter circ
uit with 5mW power dissipation, is implemented in 0.8 mu m silicon CMO
S. A hybrid flip-chip bonding technique is used to attach GaAs-AlGaAs
MQW detectors and modulators to the circuit. Operation of the circuit
at a sensitivity of -19.4dBm (41fJ) and a bit error rate <10(-9) at 55
0Mbit/s is demonstrated.
