Photo detector IC for Blu-ray-Disc applications: a realization applying efficient design methodologies

[摘要] A high-speed photo detector IC for application in Blu-ray/DVD/CD drives ispresented. Bandwidths for the highest gain of 254 MHz and 221 MHz for 405 nm (Blu-ray) and 635 nm (DVD) wavelengths,respectively, were achieved by applying novel design methodologies. The combination of this outstandingspeed performance with its low power dissipation of 192 mW at 5V supply andthe low noise power of −72 dBm at 300 MHz makes it the best in literaturereported optical transceiver IC for Blu-ray and Blu-ray/DVD/CD multi drives.Beside the excellent performance results, the usage of the novel designmethodologies gave us an increased design efficiency with 25% comparedto earlier similar design processes.
