An integrated PIN diode photodetector (PD) minimizes the parasitics caused by wire bonds between the PD and the transimpedance amplifier (TIA).

The avalanche photodetector (APD) is replaced with PIN PD, exhibiting comparable sensitivity and requiring a simple 3.3-V supply voltage. A single transistor voltage-to-current convertor between two cascaded TIAs performs automatic gain control (AGC). A total dynamic gain control of 9 dB has been demonstrated with a dynamic range of more than 17 dB, employing only four transistors and dissipating 8.5 mW.
