Abstract

Shunt-feedback TIAs suffer from a trade-off between noise and bandwidth. In this work we propose a two stage 25Gb/s front-end, made of a low noise narrow-band TIA followed by an equalizer aimed at restoring the required bandwidth, providing a 4x noise power reduction compared to a traditional design approach. A 65nm receiver cascading the proposed front-end, the limiting amplifier and a buffer, tailored to 100GBASE-LR4, demonstrates a gain of 83dBΩ, an input referred equivalent rms noise current of 2.44μA and an electrical analog bandwidth tunable between 10.6GHz and 18.2GHz. The power consumption is 93mW with a FOM of 2066GHz·Ω/mW.
