1.25 Gbit=s ITU-T G.984.2 burst-mode transimpedance amplifier without reset pins

A DC-coupled burst-mode transimpedance amplifier including fast automatic gain control is presented. By employing common-mode level signalling, a reset signal is provided without adding additional package pins. This transimpedance amplifier can be used in the upstream part of ITU-T G.984.2 compliant passive optical networks.
