    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a driver circuit for an electro-absorption modulator (EAM). Particular embodiments may employ a single differential electrical driver supplying complementary positive and negative voltage signals to two respective EAMs. DC bias for the EAMs is provided at a common node in the middle. An optical source is split and fed to each of the EAMs. The EAM receiving the positive voltage signal functions to communicate the optical data as output. The other EAM receiving the negative voltage is a dummy device providing a balance load for the differential driver circuit. Signal swing is determined by a termination resistor Rt located between parallel rails of the differential driver circuit. EAM properties such as swing and signal integrity can be traded off by choosing a different value for the termination resistor. In certain embodiments, the optical output of the dummy EAM may be used for device monitoring purposes.

    Abstract: A hybrid memory system. This system can include a processor coupled to a hybrid memory buffer (HMB) that is coupled to a plurality of DRAM and a plurality of Flash memory modules. The HMB module can include a Memory Storage Controller (MSC) module and a Near-Memory-Processing (NMP) module coupled by a SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) interface. This system can utilize a hybrid (mixed-memory type) memory system architecture suitable for supporting low-latency DRAM devices and low-cost NAND flash devices within the same memory sub-system for an industry-standard computer system.
