Abstract: An example embodiment includes an idle state detection circuit. The idle state detection circuit includes a bias current loop, a rectifying circuit loop, a voltage translating loop, and a filter circuit. The bias current loop provides a rectifying diode a forward current such that the rectifying diode detects an alternating current (AC) signal received from a transmitter via one or more transmission nodes. The rectifying circuit loop stores differential peak to peak amplitude information representative of a peak to peak amplitude of the AC signal in a first capacitor that is electrically coupled to a cathode side of the rectifying diode. The voltage translating loop converts the differential peak to peak amplitude information stored at the first capacitor to a single-end voltage signal across a first resistor that is electrically coupled to the cathode side of the rectifying diode. The filter circuit filters an AC component of the single-end voltage signal.

Abstract: A peripheral component interconnect-express (PCIe) link with presence of an active optical cable (AOC) that couples between an electrical PCIe (E-PCIe) transmitter and an E-PCIe receiver may include the AOC. The AOC may include an electrical-to-optical PCIe (EO-PCIe) transceiver coupled to the E-PCIe transmitter. The EO-PCIe transceiver may include a laser diode driver that includes a common mode voltage output terminal. The EO-PCIe transceiver may include a detection condition circuit that includes a decoupling capacitor. The decoupling capacitor may be referenced to a ground level and may connect to the common mode voltage output terminal of the laser diode driver. The detection condition circuit may create a receiver detection condition for a receiver detection circuit of the E-PCIe transmitter to detect presence of the AOC.

Abstract: A system and method for measuring optical power is described. The optical system and method may include a module configured to generate a secondly modulated signal based on secondly modulating a firstly modulated signal with an amplitude modulated signal. The firstly modulated signal may include data that is modulated for transmission by a laser diode array. The firstly modulated signal may then be secondly modulated using amplitude modulation techniques. The system may further include a photodiode configured to generate a photodiode current based on optically sensing a laser diode array. The laser diode array outputs an optical output power based on being driven by the secondly modulated signal. The system may yet further include a controller configured to calculate the optical output power from the photodiode current based on the amplitude modulated signal.
