Claim Text:
1. A burst-mode receiver (Rx) comprising: a detector configured to receive an input signal and to output an electrical detection signal; a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) circuit receiving the electrical detection signal output by the detector, the TIA circuit comprising at least a first variable resistor having a resistance value that can be varied to cause a gain of the TIA circuit to be varied, the TIA circuit outputting an output voltage signal, V an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit receiving V a threshold generation circuit that receives V a bit decision circuit receiving V a timing adjustment circuit receiving the bit decision signal from the bit decision circuit, the timing adjustment circuit shrinking the pulse duration of the bit decision signal to reduce or eliminate pulse-width distortion in the bit decision signal and outputting a data output signal.
