The optical receiver analog front-end using geiger mode photodiode have several design challenges, especially in high-speed application. The parasitic capacitance (CPD) of the geiger mode photodiode (PD) is large, can be several pico farads which significantly limits the bandwidth (BW) of the geiger...
