A Fully Integrated 10Gbps Receiver with Adaptive Optical Dispersion Equalizer in 0.13/spl mu/m CMOS

A 10Gbps receiver, containing an adaptive equalizer, a clock and data recovery (CDR), and a demultiplexer, is implemented in 0.13 mum CMOS. By compensating for optical dispersion, this chip recovers transmitted data after 200km of single-mode fiber at BER < 10
