A bandwidth-compensated ultra-high-speed laser driver circuit and driver chip

Abstract

The invention discloses an ultra high speed laser driver circuit with bandwidth compensation and a diver chip; the feedback circuit composed of two cross coupling capacitors and the capacitor and the resistor connected in a parallel mode is used for executing the laser driver bandwidth compensation. For two cross coupling capacitors, the stray capacitance between the base and the collector can be eliminated; for the feedback mode of one capacitor and one resistor, one zero point is generated for compensating the pole for realizing the bandwidth compensation; and the modulating current directly flows to the laser diode through the load resistor, so that the laser diode can obtain larger modulating current. The laser driver circuit and the driver chip having pre-emphasis function are simple in structure, high in bandwidth, large in modulating current and low in power consumption; the chip adopts the resistor and capacitor for expanding the bandwidth, the occupied area is small and the chip cost is reduced; the work speed is 40Gb / s through the 0.13 mum BiCMOS process certification and the output modulating current is greater than 10 mA.
