    Abstract: An optical or an optoelectronic device and methods are provided for data transmission across two interconnects. First, an electrical signal is obtained from an interconnect. Next, the electrical signal is modulated. Within the modulated electrical signal, an occurrence of a transition is determined, in which a change in a power of the electrical signal by more than a threshold amount. In response to the determination of the occurrence of the transition, coefficients indicative of respective amounts of compensation to resolve or mitigate nonlinearities associated with the transition are determined. According to the coefficients, a filter is applied in a vicinity of the transition to obtain a modified electrical signal. The modified electrical signal is converted into an optical signal and coupled to a fiber to transmit the optical signal to a destination at a second interconnect.

    Abstract: A device, including a first current supply configured to provide a bias current to a load and a main current supply having a source terminal coupled in parallel with the load and configured to reduce a current value to the load below the bias current, is provided. The device includes a termination resistor coupled in series with the source terminal of the main current supply and configured to receive current from the source terminal of the main current supply when the source terminal of the main current supply is activated. The device also includes an auxiliary current supply having a sink terminal coupled to the termination resistor at a common node, and configured to maintain the common node at common mode voltage when current flows from the source terminal of the main current supply to the sink terminal of the auxiliary current supply and through the termination resistor.
