Abstract
The application of charge sensitive amplifier techniques to the design
of receivers within smart pixel optoelectronic systems is presented.
An example optical input amplifier is given which should provide high
sensitivity (+/- 0.3 mu A differential), low power consumption (0.6 mW
) and small area usage (50 mu m x 20 mu m) for operation at a conventi
onal CMOS bit rate of 100 Mb/s. The minimum (simulated) optical switch
ing energy is 6 fJ.
