A 70-GHz Bandwidth Amplifier With Integrated Differential Bridged T-coil Peaking and Uniform Group Delay

A 70-GHz Bandwidth Amplifier With Integrated Differential Bridged T-coil Peaking and Uniform Group Delay 150 150

Abstract:

A two-stage amplifier in 22-nm FD-SOI CMOS integrates a fully-differential bridged T-coil for the first time. Circuit performance is benchmarked against an identical amplifier topology designed with single-ended T-coils (pseudo-differential) and an unpeaked reference. It realizes 70-GHz bandwidth with $12~\pm ~2$ -ps group delay and >10-dB return loss across 90 GHz. Bandwidth …

A 2 pA/ √Hz Input-Referred Noise TIA in 180-nm CMOS With 2.5GHz Bandwidth for Optical Receiver 150 150

Abstract:

This letter describes an ultra-low-noise, high-speed transimpedance amplifier (TIA) applied to the analog front-end (AFE) circuit of the high-sensitivity optical receiver. A combination of a three-stage amplifier and two positive feedback Miller capacitors is introduced to comprehensively reduce the input-referred noise current (IRNC) of a shunt-feedback TIA (SFTIA) and to …
