Abstract
An optoelectric converter for generating a binary electrical data signal from a binary optical data signal includes a semiconductor photodetector for receiving the optical data signal and generating an electrical current signal. An amplifier receives the current signal generated by the semiconductor photodetector and providing a voltage output signal. An equalizer receives the voltage signal generated by the amplifier and generates an equalizer output voltage signal. A DC restorer receives the equalizer output voltage signal and generates a DC restored voltage signal.
