An optoelectronic IC contains pre-amplifiers and integrated photodiodes for optical-storage systems (CD, DVD, and DVR). The pre-amps exhibit 4.6 nV/4 Hz noise and the diodes have 0.25 pF junction-capacitance. The IC uses a standard 0.6 /spl mu/m BiCMOS process for a high-performance low-cost solution.
