Resumen: This work presents a monolithically integrated synchronous optical receiver fabricated in a standard 0.35 mu m CMOS process. The receiver consists of a regenerative latch acting as a sense amplifier; two highly effective, low-capacitance pin photodiodes connected to its output nodes (one of them blocked to the light); and an adjustable reference current to compensate the dynamic offset created by the asymmetries between the parasitic capacitances of the photodiodes. For lambda = 635 nm, a sensitivity of -25.8 dBm, -26.0 dBm, and -28.4dBm is obtained, respectively, for 400 Mbit/s, 350 Mbit/s, and 250 Mbit/s (BER = 10(-9)). The power consumption is 670 mu W, which translates to an energy efficiency of 1.7 pJ/bit at 400 Mbit/s.
