Abstract

A test chip for an integrated full cmos led driver has been realized with a modulation current of 60 mA at a maximum bit rate of 155 Mbit/s. A cmos receiver is evaluated to amplify pin diode photo currents less than 10 μA at the same bit rate of 155 Mbit/s. Both circuits are integrated on one chip. The circuit has been developed in a 0.8 μm digital cmos process.

Résumé

Cet article décrit la réalisation ďune puce cmos pour interconnexion optique. Cette puce a deux fonctions, elle sert comme interface entre une photodiode (pin) et les circuits numériques puis de circuit de contrôle pour del. Elle a été réalisée par une technologie cmos 0,8 μm très avancée pour des interconnexions à 155 Mbit/s.
