In the context of our CASE
projects, a quad optical transceiver for low-power, high-density,
short distance, fiber-optical data communication was designed, fabricated,
packaged and tested. Each channel transmits 10 Gb/s over a multi-mode
fiber, featuring a link margin of 5.2 dB at a BER= .
The transmitter and receiver amplifying circuits are implemented
in an 80 nm digital CMOS process. This work presented the highest
serial data rate for CMOS transceiver arrays and the lowest power
consumption per data rate (2.5 mW per Gigabit/s) reported at the
time of publication [1].
