The optimisation of an optical receiver is discussed and transient characteristics of two basic simple integrated receivers in CMOS systems are analysed and compared in detail. In analysis, a maximum current parameter is developed and used for optimisation design. Among these two receivers, the low-impedance configuration is presented for high-speed operation. SPICE simulation and preliminary experimental results with discrete devices are also illustrated and discussed
