An 8 x 10 Gbps direct light-to-logic converter for hybrid mounted Ge photodiodes is presented. The receiver is realized in standard 0.35 mu m SiGe BiCMOS technology and the Ge photodetector is directly mounted on the top of the CMOS wafer. Each of the 8 channels includes a transimpedance amplifier, limiting amplifier stages and a 500 Omega CML output driver. The overall transimpedance is 275 k Omega and at a data rate of 10 Gpbs a sensitivity of -23.1 dBm (BER = 10(-9)) is reached.
