A 2.5 Gb/s GaAs Clock and Data Regenerator I.C.
01 June 2010
A GaAs IC that performs clock and data regeneration functions for high speed fiber optic transmission systems is presented. This IC, in conjunction with a companion Si bipolar chip, can regenerate pseudo random NRZ data at rates up to 2.5 Gb/s with a sensitivity of 15 mV and uses a single -5.2 V ECL compatible power supply.
