A 3-V fully differential distributed limiting driver for 40-Gb

A fully differential 40-Gb/s electro-absorption modulator driver is presented. Based on a distributed limiting architecture, the circuit can supply up to 3.0-Vpp (peak-to-peak) per side in a 50-Ω load at data rates as high as 44 Gb/s. Both the input and the output are internally matched to 50 Ω and...
