This paper proposes CMOS optical receivers to reduce effective area and pulse width distortion (PWD) in high definition digital audio interfaces. To mitigate effective area and PWD, proposed receivers include a frans-impedance amplifier (TIA) with dual output and a level shifter with threshold convergence, respectively. Proposed circuits are fabricated using $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS process and measured result demonstrated the effective area of $270\times120{\mu}m^2$ and PWD of ${\pm}3%$ for the receiver with a dual output TIA, and the effective area of $410\times140{\mu}m^2$ and PWD of ${\pm}2%$ for the receiver with a threshold convergence level shifter.
