    Abstract: A single chip dual-channel driver for two independent traveling wave modulators. The driver includes two differential pairs inputs per channel respectively configured to receive two digital differential pair signals. The driver further includes a two-bit DAC per channel coupled to the two differential pairs inputs to produce a single analog differential pair PAM signal at a differential pair output for driving a traveling wave modulator. Additionally, the driver includes a control block having internal voltage/current signal generators respective coupled to each input and the 2-bit DAC for providing a bias voltage, a tail current, a dither signal to assist modulation control per channel. Furthermore, the driver includes an internal I2C communication block coupled to a high-speed clock generator to generate control signals to the control block and coupled to host via an I2C digital communication interface.

    Abstract: A PAM4 driver with at least 56 Gbps speed for driving a Mach-Zehnder modulator. The PAM4 driver is configured as 2-bit CMOS digital-to-analog convertor including a drive control module for receiving a pair of incoming differential digital data and generating a first processed reference signal and a second processed reference signal. The PAM4 driver further includes a mirrored buffer circuit to produce two sets of four voltage levels. Furthermore, the PAM4 driver includes a decoder module controlled by a switch bias control module configured to decode each of the two sets of four voltage levels for generating a first output signal and a complementary second out signal with 4 independently adjustable analog levels for driving the Mach-Zehnder modulator with close ended termination resistor.

    Abstract: In an example, the present invention includes an integrated system on chip device. The device has a redundancy block is configured to add at least redundancy bit as a function of one or more data bits associated with data for data error detection and correction data. In an example, the driver module is coupled to the signal processing blocking using a uni-directional multi-lane bus configured with N lanes, whereupon N is greater than M such that a difference between N and M represents a redundant lane or lanes. The device also has a mapping block configured to associate the M lanes to a plurality of selected laser devices for a silicon photonics device.

    Abstract: An integrated optical modulator device. The device can include a driver module coupled to an optical modulator. The optical modulator is characterized by a raised cosine transfer function. This optical modulator can be coupled to a light source and a bias control module, which is configured to apply an off-quadrature bias to the optical modulator. This bias can be accomplished by applying an inverse of the modulator transfer function to the optical modulator in order to minimize a noise variance. This compression function can result in an optimized increased top eye opening for a signal associated with the optical modulator. Furthermore, the optical modulator can be coupled to an EDFA (Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) that is coupled to a filter coupled an O/E (Optical-to-Electrical) receiver.
