    摘要: Circuitry includes a pre-amplifier having a differential output, where the differential output corresponds to a common mode voltage; a multiplexer including sets of transistors, each of which has a control input; a comparator including input terminals, a first terminal of the input terminals to receive a signal that is based on an output of the multiplexer, and a second terminal of the input terminals to receive a threshold voltage; a compensation circuit to produce a divided voltage that varies in accordance with variations in the common mode voltage; and an amplifier to receive a predefined voltage and to use the divided voltage to affect the predefined voltage to produce the threshold voltage for the comparator. Signals in the differential output of the pre-amplifier are applicable to corresponding control inputs in the sets of transistors.

    摘要: Circuits and methods for automatically controlling lightwave emitters are provided. A control system is provided that includes a variable gain circuit for automatically adjusting the gain of a control signal with respect to a feedback signal, a modulation signal, and a reference signal. This allows the optical output of the lightwave emitter to remain substantially constant despite changes in transfer ratio due to aging or temperature variations. Furthermore, in some embodiments, a user may select the overall gain of the system to optimize response time, bandwidth, or steady-state accuracy.

    摘要: Driver circuitry with a tuned output impedance is provided. Tuning is provided by an isolation circuit and matching network coupled to an output of the driver circuit. The isolation circuit isolates the capacitance associated portions of the driver circuit thereby reducing overall output capacitance. The matching network substantially compensates for reactive impedances associated with other portions of the driver circuit. These tuning circuits allow the driver circuit overcome intrinsic reactance and exhibit a substantially resistive output impedance characteristic.
