This letter describes an inverter-based analog receiver front-end that was evaluated within a complete ADC-based 56-Gb/s four pulse-amplitude modulation wireline transceiver system. The frontend ...

Abstract: Gain-coupled 4 × 56 Gb/s electroabsorption modulated laser (EML) arrays are implemented by identical epitaxial layer (IEL) integration scheme. On-chip coplanar waveguide (CPW) electrodes are ...
