10-Gb/s limiting amplifier and laser

A limiting amplifier incorporates active feedback, inductive peaking, and negative Miller capacitance to achieve a voltage gain of 50 dB, a bandwidth of 9.4 GHz, and a sensitivity of 4.6 mVpp for a bit-error rate of 10-12 while consuming 150 mW. A driver employs T-coil peaking and negative impedance...
