摘要:
An optoelectronic transceiver includes first and second controller ICs. Each controller IC includes logic, a memory, an interface, and at least one input port. Each memory is configured to store digital diagnostic data and has a unique serial device address to allow a host access to each of these controller ICs separately and independently. At least some of the digital diagnostic data is common to both the first controller IC and the second controller IC. The inclusion of two controller ICs allows the same diagnostic data to be stored in completely different memory mapped locations. This allows hosts that are preconfigured differently to read different memory mapped locations on the different controller ICs to obtain the same diagnostic data.

Communication devices are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a communication device may include a communication module including an illumination source and a body element. The body element may be configured to allow illumination generated by the illumination source to propagate within and illuminate at least a portion of an outer surface of the body element.

A controller (110) for controlling the reverse-bias voltage of an avalanche photodiode in a transceiver or receiver. The controller (110) includes memory (120, 122, 128) for storing information related to the avalanche photodiode, and analog to digital conversion circuitry (124, 127) for receiving an analog signal corresponding to the temperature of the avalanche photodiode, converting the received analog signal into a digital value, and storing the digital value in a predefined location within the memory (128). Control circuitry (134) in the controller controls the operation of the avalanche photodiode in accordance with the digital value corresponding to the temperature of the avalanche photodiode and a temperature lookup table (122) stored in the memory. A serial interface (121) is provided to enable a host device to read from and write to locations within the memory. The invention is also implemented as a method for controlling the reverse-bias voltage of an avalanche photodiode in a transceiver or receiver and a method for calibrating a transceiver or receiver having an avalanche photodiode.
