    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to a conversion arrangement, a driver arrangement, and a method of producing a complementary complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) output signal for driving a modulator device. The conversion arrangement includes a differential amplifier configured to produce a first amplified signal based on the differential input signal, and at least two transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) coupled with respective outputs of the differential amplifier and configured to produce a second amplified signal based on the first amplified signal. Respective bias voltages for the TIAs are based on the first amplified signal. The conversion arrangement further includes a common-mode feedback arrangement coupled with outputs of the TIAs and configured to control the first amplified signal based on the second amplified signal, thereby controlling the bias voltages, wherein the complementary CMOS output signal is based on the second amplified signal.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a transimpedance amplifier and an injection circuit. The injection circuit generates a first electrical test signal and injects the first electrical test signal into the transimpedance amplifier. The first electrical test signal or an output of the transimpedance amplifier generated based on the first electrical test signal is used to determine whether the integrated circuit is faulty.

    Abstract: A flip-flop is provided that includes an input latch, configured to receive a data signal and a complement and produce set and reset pulses based on a clock and a difference between the data signal and the complement; and an output latch, configured to store a data value in a first memory and a complement data value in a second memory based on the set and reset pulses and the clock. Various buffers configured to invert and amplify the set and reset pulses before provision to the output latch stages are optionally disposed between the input and output latches. The input latch includes two signal arms, two difference transistors (one gate controlled by the clock and the other by a clock complement) coupled oppositely to one another (by respective drains and sources) to the signal arms, and two regeneration inverters coupled oppositely to one another to the signal arms.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a reference-less CDR circuit that receives electrical signals that may have been transmitted along either an electrical or optical interconnect which are then processed to identify the original data. To do so, the CDR circuit includes a frequency locking loop (FLL) and a phase locking loop (PLL) which generate control signals for a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). In one embodiment, the FLL generates a coarse adjustment signal which the VCO uses to output a recovered clock that substantially matches the frequency of the received electrical signal. The PLL, on the other hand, generates a fine adjustment signal which the VCO uses to make small adjustments (e.g., half cycle phase shifts) to the recovered clock. The recovered clock outputted by the VCO is then fed back and used as an input in both the FLL and the PLL.
