An OEIC with integrated PIN photodiodes for optical receiver applications like CD, DVD, HDDVD or Blu-ray, is presented. For the fast channels a maximum transimpedance of 465k/spl Omega/ or a sensitivity of 116mV//spl mu/W for 405nm with a bandwidth of 145MHz was achieved. The power consumption of 162.5mW at 5V is low enough for implementation in optical pickup units.
