A 3V, 4.25Gb/s Laser Driver with 0.4V Output Voltage Compliance The design of a 155Mb/s - 4.25Gb/s laser driver in SiGe BiCMOS is described. A large output voltage compliance range that allows DC coupling to the laser diode is achieved with a translinear pseudo-differential output driver. Active back-termination is provided at the modulation output pins. Careful design of the level shift stage affords low deterministic jitter over a very wide range of bit rates. The dynamic performance is preserved over a wide range of modulation current with a segmented driver slice scheme. Biography John W. Fattaruso grew up in Berkeley, CA, and received the B.S.(highest honors), M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, through 1986. He has been a Hertz Foundation Fellow, Teaching Associate, Research Assistant and Instructor at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1979 he worked in the Digital Signal Processing R&D group at Hewlett-Packard, Santa Clara, CA, and in 1985 he served as a consultant to Seeq Technology, San Jose, CA. Since 1987 he has been with various research and product development departments of Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX, working in many areas of analog VLSI technology. He was elected Distinguished Member of Technical Staff in 2001. His technical interests include analog and RF circuit design, circuit simulation and optimization, and numerical analysis. He currently holds 29 patents in circuit design, has authored or co-authored 20 journal papers and conference presentations, and has served on the analog program subcommittee of the ISSCC and as guest editor of the JSSC. Dr. Fattaruso is a member of Eta Kappa Nu, Tau Beta Pi and Phi Beta Kappa. _______________________________________________ Colloquium mailing list [email protected] https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/colloquium _______________________________________________ eecs-faculty mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/eecs-faculty _______________________________________________ Colloquium mailing list [email protected] https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/colloquium
