OPTICAL RECEIVER USING INFINITE IMPULSE RESPONSE DECISION FEEDBACK EQUALIZATION

摘要

A technique is provided for configuring an optical receiver. A photo detector is connected to a load resistor, and the photo detector includes an internal capacitance. A current source is connected through a switching circuit to the load resistor and to the photo detector. The current source is configured to discharge the internal capacitance of the photo detector. The switching circuit is configured to connect the current source to the internal capacitance based on a previous data bit.
