150 Mbps PDIC receiver

A 150 Mbps PDIC (Photo Diode Integrated Circuit) BiCMOS optical receiver is presented in the report. The receiver is intended to be used in the MOST150 (Media Oriented System Transport) network with POF (Plastic Optical Fiber), diameter 1 mm wavelength 650nm. A fast optical front end receiver is developed based on XFAB BiCMOS technology. The fully differential receiver consists of two integrated photo diodes with 1.1mm diameter, transimpedance amplifier, postamplifier and output LVDS driver. The block diagram, chip layout and measurement results of the engineering samples are shown. Receiver is available in two types of the package SOIC and SIP.
