Short turn-on/off time linear voltage regulator with data detector for power-aware optical interconnect system

A proposed power-aware optical interconnection system consists of a supply control voltage regulator, a receiver circuit, and a transmitter circuit. The supply control voltage regulator power consumption is 220 μA at 3.3 V and the optical receiver and transmitter has 27 mA and 64 mA at 1.8 V respectively. The transient response of supply control voltage regulator has 3.1 ns and 0.4 ns for rising and falling time, respectively.
