摘要： An LD-Driver with the push-pull arrangement is disclosed. The driver includes the high side driver driven by the positive phase signal and the low side driver driven by the negative phase signal. When the positive phase signal is in HIGH, the high side driver becomes ON and the LD driver provides additional current to the bias current for the LD; while, when the negative phase signal is in HIGH, the low side driver becomes ON and the LD driver extracts a portion of the bias current for the LD.

摘要： A trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) for a light-receiving circuit is disclosed where the TIA reduces the power consumption as suppressing the degradation of the signal quality in high frequency regions. The TIA comprises a primary core, a dummy core, and a differential amplifier that receives each output of two cores in the differential mode. Two cores have an arrangement substantially same to each other except that the power consumption thereof is smaller in the dummy core. Because the output impedance of two cores becomes substantially equal, the scattering parameter of the common mode to the differential mode at the output of the primary core becomes small enough.

摘要： The present invention provides an auto-power control (APC) circuit and a method to stabilize the extinction ratio of an optical output from a laser diode (LD) in an optical transmitter. The APC circuit according to the invention includes two feedback loops for the modulation IM and the bias current IB each having variable loop gain. The extinction ratio of the optical output from the LD is kept constant by setting the ratio of the loop gains of respective APC circuits to be ER−1.

摘要： An LD-Driver with a back termination circuit is disclosed. The back termination circuit of the invention provides a transistor as an active device, a current source to provide a bias current to the transistor, and a resistor as a passive element that couples the transmission lines carrying a differential signal thereon. Because the transistor shows a differential resistance of several tens of ohms by providing only a few milli-amperes, the output impedance of the LD-Driver may be substantially matched with the characteristic impedance of the transmission line with lesser additional power consumption.

摘要： The method to change the emission wavelength of a tunable LD is disclosed. In an ordinary state, the method monitors conditions not only relating to determine the emission wavelength but conditions independent of the emission wavelength by an ordinary A/D-C implemented within the controller. Responding to an instruction to switch the emission wavelength, the controller only monitors the former conditions affecting the determination of the emission wavelength. The sampling rate of the ordinary A/D-C is equivalently enhanced without installing an additional A/D-C.

摘要： A driver circuit for an LD is disclosed. The circuit includes a decision unit, an offset adjustor, and an amplifier each having the differential configuration in an embodiment. The decision unit decides and generates a signal LOS that distinguishes the existence/absence of the input signal. The offset adjustor, depending on the signal from the decision unit, adds/compensate the offset thereof. The amplifier, whose output are pulled up to the power supply Vcc through an inductor. Because the output of the offset adjustor compensates the offset thereof during the absence of the input signal, the output of the amplifier does not cause overshoot or undershoot.
