A Low Power 3.12Gbit/s/Channel Parallel Optical Receiver for Very Short Reach (VSR) Applications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A truly-differential transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for optical receiver front-ends based on common-gate topology is fabricated and tested. -16 dBm sensitivity is achieved for this inductorless TIA at 3.125 Gbit/s while drawing 3.7 mA current from a 1.2 V power supply. The channel power consumption is 22 mW including an input buffer (IB), a limiting amplifier (LA), and a current-mode-logic (CML) output buffer with a 400 mV peak-to-peak differential output swing. We present a method to convert pseudo-differential signals into truly-differential signals by using AC coupling techniques. Also a new method of measuring cross-talk power penalty with an on-chip pseudo-random-bit-sequence (PRBS) generator is introduced. The circuits are implemented in the IBM CMRF8SF-DM 0.13-mum complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
