A host adaptor is configured to monitor operation of an optoelectronic transceiver. The host adapter includes a transceiver interface, memory, comparison logic and a host interface. The transceiver interface receives from the optoelectronic transceiver digital values corresponding to operating conditions of the optoelectronic transceiver. The memory includes one or more memory arrays for storing information related to the optoelectronic transceiver, including the digital values received from the optoelectronic transceiver. The comparison logic is configured to compare the digital values with limit values to generate flag values, wherein the flag values are stored in predefined flag storage locations within the memory during operation of the optoelectronic transceiver. The host interface enables a host device to read from host specified locations within the memory, including the predefined flag storage locations, in accordance with commands received from the host device.

摘要:
A single-chip integrated circuit, sometimes called a controller, controls operation of a transceiver having a laser transmitter and a photodiode receiver. The controller includes memory for storing information related to the transceiver, and analog to digital conversion circuitry for receiving a plurality of analog signals from the laser transmitter and photodiode receiver, converting the received analog signals into digital values, and storing the digital values in predefined locations within the memory. Comparison logic compares one or more of these digital values with predetermined setpoints, generates flag values based on the comparisons, and stores the flag values in predefined locations within the memory. Control circuitry in the controller shuts off the laser transmitter in response to comparisons of signals with predetermined setpoints that indicate potential eye safety hazards.
