Abstract
An optical receiver of an optical link having: a photodiode coupled between a detection node and a first supply voltage rail, the photodiode being adapted to receive an optical clock signal including pulses; a switch coupled between the detection node and a second supply voltage rail; and a first transistor coupled by its main conducting nodes between the second supply voltage rail and a first output node and having its control node coupled to the detection node, wherein the switch is controlled based on a voltage at the first output node.
