This paper describes a silicon-based monolithic integrated optical r eceiver for 650nm plastic optical fiber (POF) communication realized in 0.5μm biplor,CMOS and DMOS (BCD) process .It consists of large area cross finger-type PIN photodetector (PD) that is compatible with standard proce ss,transimpedance amplifier and post amplifiers.Testing scheme with the graphical programming software LabVIEW,h ardware PXI and optical adjustment platform is proposed to test the optical receiver chip after tap-out .Measurement results show that the dark current of PD is at pA magnitude,the responsivity is 0.25A/W and the capac itance is 4.4pF.The sensitivity of receiver is －14.6dBm at 180Mbit/s pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) and BER is less than 10－9 for 650nm input light.A clear eye diagram is demonstra ted.The area of optical receiver is 0.9mm^2including the PD area of 200μm×200μm,and the power dissipation is 60mW with power supply of 5V.
