A Novel Inductorless Design Technique for Linear Equalization in Optical Receivers

To mitigate the trade-off between gain and bandwidth of CMOS multistage amplifiers, a receiver front-end (FE) that employs a high-gain narrowband transimpedance amplifier (TIA) followed by an equalizing main amplifier (EMA) is proposed. The EMA provides a high-frequency peaking to extend the FE’s ba...
