This paper, presents a high-speed full swing driver for a heavy-load flat-panel scan-line circuit. The high driving capability is achieved using the proposed Complementary Dual-Bootstrap (CDUB) technique. The scan-line CDUB driver was fabricated in a 0.35-µm CMOS technology. The measured results, under the flat-panel scan-line load model, indicate that the delay time is within 2.8µs and the average power is 0.74mW for a 5V supply voltage.

We describe 25-Gb/s error-free transmission over multi-mode fiber (MMF) by using a transmitter based on a 1.3-µm lens-integrated surface-emitting laser (LISEL) and a CMOS laser-diode driver (LDD). It demonstrates 25-Gb/s error-free transmission over 30-m MMF under the overfilled-launch condition and over 150-m MMF with a power penalty less than 1.0 dB under the underfilled-launch condition.
