摘　　要：A 10 Gbit/s burst-mode preamplifier is designed for passive optical networks （PONs）. To achieve a high dynamic range and fast response, the circuit is DC coupled, and a feed-back type peak detector is designed to perform auto-gaincontrol and threshold extraction. Regulated cascade （RGC） architecture is exploited as the input stage to reduce the input impedance of the circuit and isolate the large parasitic capacitance including the photodiode capacitance from the determination pole, thus increasing the bandwidth. This preamplifier is implemented using the low-cost 0. 13 ixm CMOS technology. The die area is 425 μm × 475 μm and the total power dissipation is 23.4 mW. The test results indicate that the preamplifier can work at a speed from 1.25 to 10.312 5 Gbit/s, providing a high transimpedance gain of 64.0 dBΩ and a low gain of 54. 6 dBl2 with a dynamic input range of over 22.9 dB. The equivalent input noise current is 23. 4 pA/ Hz1/2. The proposed burst amplifier satisfies related specifications defined in 10G-EPON and XG-PON standards.针对无源光网络(PON)设计了10 Gbit/s的突发模式前置放大器. 为了获取大动态范围和快速响应,电路采用DC耦合结构,并设计了一种反馈型峰值检测单元以实现自动增益控制与阈值提取功能. 利用调节型共源共栅(RGC)结构的输入级单元减小了电路的输入电阻,使得包括光检测器电容在内的大寄生电容与电路的主极点相隔离,从而提高了带宽. 该前置放大器采用低成本的0.13 μm CMOS工艺实现,芯片面积为425μm×475μm,总功耗为23.4mW. 测试结果表明,电路的工作速率范围在1.25 ～10.312 5Gbit/s,可提供64.0 dBΩ的高跨阻增益与54. 6 dBΩ的低跨阻增益,输入动态范围大于22.9 dB. 等效输入噪声电流为23.4 pA/Hz1/2. 该放大器可满足10G-EPON与XG-PON的相关指标.
