A Si bipolar laser diode driver/receiver chip set for 4-channel 5 Gb/s parallel optical interconnection

A chip set of a 4-channel 5 Gb/s laser driver and a receiver uses an electro-optical mixed design with an array of laser diodes. It realizes a parallel optical transceiver module with 20 Gb/s throughput. Optical waveform is not required. Power consumption is 1.3 W.
