With the increasing demands at data bandwidth in the last mile, network access Ethernet optical network (EPON) is considered on a promising technology to meet the demands of data transmission capability in the future. Based on fiber to the home (FTTH) technology and point-to-multipoint optical network configuration. It provides up to 1 Gbps data rate which is suitable for multi media communication.
This thesis describes the design of burst mode receiver front-end, including a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and a post limiting amplifier (LIA). To investigate low noise design technology with Butterworth and Bessel type TIAs are proposed analysis and their characteristic are compared in which from ISI and main points of view. Also, a method of novel constant damping factor is to maintain stability and group delay when gain switches.
This thesis explores circuit techniques for optical receiver front-end design in 0.18μm CMOS technology. The objective goals of this research are to realize a single chip of 1.8V 2.5 Gbps burst mode optical receiver front-end ICs. In the receiver front-end circuit, in order to amplifying signal correctly in short time. We adopt the skills of DC couple and feed-forward offset cancellation. the transimpedance amplifier receives the photocurrent produced by photodiode and transforms it to voltage output. Because the output of TIA is single phase signals, we need ATC to produce the threshold voltage to change the signal into the differential signal to input to LIA. The limiting amplifier further enlarges the tiny voltage to a fixed and sufficiently large output voltage. In order to enhance the input dynamic range, an automatic switch gain control circuit is included in TIA design. Under 1.8V supply voltage, the TIA provides a conversion gain of 66dB? with a –3dB bandwidth of 1.96GHz, and its input dynamic range is from –25dBm to -6dBm. In the design of limiting amplifier, we adopt the method of active feedback to make every node to present low impedance, and has no loss of loading effect. It achieves an input sensitivity of 11.4mV, -3dB bandwidth of 3GHz and conversion gain of 32.6dB, and the output voltage is fixed at 660mV under 1.8V voltage operation. |
