Description
We present monolithic VCSEL driver and transimpedance amplifier array ICs for multi-channel optical transceivers. Each IC has 3 channels and is targeted to operate at the highest data rate of 25 Gb/s/channel. Two generations of the ICs have been implemented with IHP’s 0.25-μm SiGe:C BiCMOS technology. The Gen-1 ICs contain only analog control circuits in order to focus on verification of high-speed signal path. The Gen-2 ICs are equipped with full digital control circuits with serial interface. Radiation-hardness of the digital part is achieved by adapting triple modular redundancy structures. These ICs have been developed within a European project “Multi-Gigabit, Scalable & Energy Efficient On-Board Digital Processors Employing Multi-Core, Vertical, Embedded Opto-Electronic Engines.”
