Abstract
In this paper, we invented a new structure of fast ATC(Automatic Threshold Control) circuit. Using the structure we made a new burst-mode limiting amplifier with fast ATC function using commercial $0.8{\mu}m$ BiCMOS technology. It's ATC function worked so fast that even the first bit of burst-data could be detected, which confirmed that the new structure was useful for fast ATC. However, in the beginning of a burst, distortions in duty-cycle occurred and increased up to 59% of duty-cycle as amplitude of input signal increased. But we confirmed that after 10 cycles passed, duty-cycles was staying below 52% of duty-cycle for any magnitude of input signal.
