A 1Gb/s 4-channel optical transceiver chipset for automotive wired networks

Abstract

A 4-channel optical transceiver chipset is designed in a 0.18μm standard CMOS technology for the applications of automotive wired networks. The transmitter LD driver operate at 1Gb/s with reliable APC (30-70mA) and AMC (20-80mA pp) controls, whereas the receiver TIA demonstrates 76.6dBΩ transimpedance gain and 724MHz bandwidth against the very large input parasitic capacitance (6pF) with 40mW power dissipation from a single 3.3V supply. © 2006 IEEE.
