High-speed, highly sensitive OEIC using clocked vertical BJT's photoDarlington in CMOS technology

A novel CMOS synchronized photoreceiver is proposed for conversion of optical input pulses to digital output signals. The photoreceiver circuit consists of a photoDarlington used as a detector of input light followed by a current-mirror comparator used as a converter to electronic signals. A combina...
