Abstract
A monolithic broad-band de-coupled Silicon bipolar optical transducer has been designed to receive and retime uncoded data at rates up to 2. 5 Gb/s, The transducer employs a modified feedback emitter coupled log ic (FECL) loop to dynamically set reference voltages derived from the ''1'' and ''0'' level output signals of the single-ended pre-amplifier for balanced operation of the decision circuit, The pre-amplifier has a nominal sensitivity of -23.1 dBm at 1 GHz.
