A transimpedance amplifier packaged with an InP p-i-n photodiode has been d
emonstrated for 10-Gb/s SONET receiver. The shunt feedback transimpedance a
mplifier is fabricated in 0.25-mum modular Si BICMOS technology, The transi
mpedance of 55 dB Omega is achieved at a bandwidth of 9 GHz by applying shu
nt peaking and filter termination at the input. The optical sensitivity of
-17 dBm was measured at 10 Gb/s for a bit-error rate of 10(-12).
