A tuning transimpedance BW range of 10 GHz is demonstrated using this approach. Integrated with a 40 fF photodetector, the transimpedance amplifier achieves 62.3 dB-ohm (1.3 kohm) differential transimpedance with a bandwidth of 39.3 GHz while consuming only 165 mW. This corresponds to a transimpedance-BW product per DC power of 310 ohms-GHz/mW. To the author's knowledge, this work is the first published demonstration of a tunable transimpedance amplifier for 40 Gb/s applications, and is among the highest TZ-BWP per DC power reported for a 40 Gb/s TIA.","PeriodicalId":142875,"journal":{"name":"24th Annual Technical Digest Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuit (GaAs IC) Symposiu","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133465584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
