Visible light communication (VLC) is becoming a very popular technology with its attractive features of no electromagnetic interference, high-bandwidth capacity, high security, license-free operation. VLC receivers are getting a favorable amount of research interest as it is more convenient to manipulate low power signals than the large current signals in VLC transmitter. In this paper, a VLC receiver design is proposed, which uses an active inductor-based peaking technique to enhance the modulation bandwith of the receiver for various VLC applications. By employing the peaking technique, a -3 dB bandwidth of 80 MHz is achieved with 94 dBΩ of total transimpedance gain. The whole receiver consumes 3.2 mW of power consumption, which comes down to ~1.2 mW if the power consumed due to the termination resistor of 50 Ω is ignored. The ambient light rejection capability of the proposed design is 70 ?A.
