OPTICAL LINK CLOCK RECEIVER

摘要

The invention concerns an optical receiver of an optical link having: a photodiode (202) coupled between a detection node (204) and a first supply voltage rail (GND), the photodiode being adapted to receive an optical clock signal including pulses; a switch (206) coupled between the detection node (204) and a second supply voltage rail (VDD); and a first transistor (211) coupled by its main conducting nodes between the second supply voltage rail (VDD) and a first output node (212) and having its control node coupled to the detection node (204), wherein the switch (206) is controlled based on a voltage at the first output node (212).
