M. Neuhauser et al., LOW-NOISE, HIGH-TRANSIMPEDANCE SI-BIPOLAR AGC AMPLIFIER FOR 10-GB S OPTICAL-FIBER LINKS/, IEEE photonics technology letters, 7(5), 1995, pp. 549-551
A two-chip low-noise transimpedance amplifier with automatic gain cont
rol (AGC) is presented. The amplifier has been developed for a 10-Gb/s
optical-fiber system and fabricated in a Si-bipolar production techno
logy. The maximum transimpedance is as high as 45 k Omega and the elec
trical input dynamic range is 33 dB.
