Abstract
An optical communication system, a circuit, and a method of operating an optical communication system are provided. The optical communication system is disclosed to include a photodiode configured to receive optical signals and convert the received optical signals into electrical signals, a Trans-Impedance Amplifier (TIA) electrically connected with the photodiode such that the TIA receives the electrical signals from the photodiode and is configured to convert the electrical signals received from the photodiode into amplified electrical signals, and a feedback loop connected between an input of the TIA and an output of the TIA that includes a switchable capacitor bank connected thereto which introduces at least one zero into a feedback factor transfer function of the TIA thereby tuning out poles or equalizing delay introduced by a TIA input network connected between the photodiode and the input of the TIA.
