In this paper, we present an integrated 155-Mb/s burst-mode receiver (BMR) for passive optical network (PON) applications. The chip has been designed to receive optical signals over a wide dynamic range (-30 to -8 dBm) and temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). The chip was implemented using a 0.8-μm 35-GHz SiGe BiCMOS technology and occupies an area of 4.3×4.9 mm² with a power consumption of 500 mW from a supply voltage of 5 V (3.3 V for the digital PECL output).
