This paper focuses on the experimental verification of the IC prototype POFchip-II, implemented in a standard 0.18- μ m CMOS technology plus a commercial Si-PIN photodetector and a 1 mm step-index plastic optical fiber (POF) transmission channel. A 1.25 Gb/s data transmission rate is attained for POF lengths ranging from 10 to 50 m thanks to a continuous-time adaptive equalizer included in the receiver chain that compensates the limited and length-dependent speed of POF. The measured sensitivity of the receiver leads to an eye-safety approach up to almost 30 m reach. 000148902 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-FEDER/TEC2008-05455/TEC$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-FEDER/TEC2011-23211 000148902 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000148902 590__ $$a2.555$$b2012 000148902 591__ $$aENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC$$b32 / 243 = 0.132$$c2012$$dQ1$$eT1 000148902 591__ $$aTELECOMMUNICATIONS$$b6 / 76 = 0.079$$c2012$$dQ1$$eT1 000148902 591__ $$aOPTICS$$b11 / 80 = 0.138$$c2012$$dQ1$$eT1 000148902 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000148902 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-8236-825X$$aSánchez-Azqueta, C.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000148902 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-0182-7723$$aCelma, S.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000148902 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2361-1077$$aCalvo, B.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000148902 7102_ $$12004$$2X$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
