A receiver architecture is disclosed which employs an RC double-sampling front-end and dynamic offset modulation technique. A low-voltage double-sampling technique provides high power efficiency by avoiding linear high-gain elements conventionally employed in typical transimpedance-amplifier (TIA) receivers. In addition, a demultiplexed output of the receiver helps save power in the subsequent digital blocks. Various applications are described including optical receivers, electrical on-chip interconnects, as well as pulse amplitude modulation. The receiver can be implemented in CMOS and is scalable and portable to other technologies. |
