40 Gb/s differential traveling wave modulator driver

In this letter a MMIC differential traveling wave driver for 40 Gb/s electro-absorption modulation driver is presented. The driver delivers 2.7 Vp-p or 2.4 V eye amplitude at each output into 50 /spl Omega/ load. The driver has high gain (>20 dB), a 3 dB bandwidth of 45 GHz, and rise/fall times o...

Zusammenfassung:	In this letter a MMIC differential traveling wave driver for 40 Gb/s electro-absorption modulation driver is presented. The driver delivers 2.7 Vp-p or 2.4 V eye amplitude at each output into 50 /spl Omega/ load. The driver has high gain (>20 dB), a 3 dB bandwidth of 45 GHz, and rise/fall times of only 10/9 ps, respectively. The circuit uses a single -5.0 V power supply and consumes 1.8 W of dc power. The driver also features cross-point control and output amplitude control functions.
