Abstract:
In one example, a device includes a photodetector to generate an electrical signal in response to an optical signal and a transimpedance amplifier unit to receive the electrical signal. In one example, the transimpedance amplifier unit may include a first inverter unit, a second inverter unit coupled to the first inverter unit, and a third inverter unit coupled to the second inverter unit. In one example the third inverter unit may include a feedback resistor and a first n-type transistor in parallel to the feedback resistor, where the first n-type transistor is to provide a variable gain of the third inverter unit.

Claim (Index 12):
A device, comprising:\n a photodetector to receive an optical signal and to convert the optical signal to an electrical signal; a transimpedance amplifier unit to amplify the electrical signal with a linear gain throughout a current range of the electrical signal, wherein the transimpedance amplifier unit comprises at least three inverter units; an offset correction circuit coupled to the transimpedance amplifier unit, to correct a direct current component of the electrical signal; and an automatic gain control circuit coupled to the transimpedance amplifier unit, to control a variable gain of at least one of the at least three inverter units of the transimpedance amplifier unit and to prevent the at least three inverter units of the transimpedance amplifier unit from operating in a saturation region.
