Abstract

This letter presents a compact 2.5 Gb/s burst-mode receiver using the first reported monolithic amplifier IC developed with 0.25 …m SiGe BiCMOS technology. With optimum avalanche photodiode gain, the receiver module can obtain a fast response, high sensitivity and wide dynamic range, satisfying the overhead timing and various power specifications for a 2.5 Gb/s next-generation passive optical network (PON), as well as a legacy 1.25 Gb/s PON in the upstream.
