Abstract:
This article presents a monolithically integrated eight-channel optical transmitter (OTX) based on wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), which is implemented in a 45-nm CMOS SOI process. Ascalable inductorless level-boosting driver is proposed to generate large output swings without level shifters or additional supply domains, enabling energy- and area-efficient operation. The driver is …
