摘要:
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:
Circuitry for monitoring the operation of an optoelectronic transceiver includes a sequence of interconnected signal processing circuits for processing an analog input signal and producing a digital result signal, where the analog signal represents one or more operating conditions of the optoelectronic transceiver. The sequence of signal processing circuits include gain circuitry for amplifying or attenuating the analog input signal by a gain value to produce a scaled analog signal, an analog to digital converter for converting the scaled analog signal into a first digital signal, and digital adjustment circuitry for digitally adjusting the first digital signal to produce the digital result signal. The digital adjustment circuitry includes shifting circuitry configured to shift an input digital signal in accordance with a shift value so as to produce a digital shifted signal. The digital result signal is stored in memory in predefined locations accessible by a host.

An optical transmitter having an electro-optic transducer mounted directly on a temperature sensor. Due to the close proximity of the electro-optic transducer and the temperature sensor, the temperature sensor more accurately measures the temperature of the electro-optic transducer. This permits for more refined control of the frequency characteristics of optical light emitted by the electro-optic transducer since the emitted optical frequencies of most electro-optic transducers are heavily temperature dependent.

Controlling a thermo electric cooler (TEC) (112) in a transceiver using a microcontroller (122). The microcontroller (122) is used to control functionality in addition to the TEC (112) control functionality. Specifically, the TEC (112) is controlled using a control algorithm in the microcontroller (122). The microcontroller (122) sends signals to a switching device (202, 302) that controls current through TEC (112).

A system and method for controlling an optical transmitter (500). Proximate to startup of the optical transmitter (500), the laser bias to the optical transmitter is increased from a minimum to a setpoint according to a predefined function. After the laser bias setpoint is reached, the electrical modulation amplitude is increased from a minimum to a setpoint according to a predefined function. Proximate to shutdown of the optical transmitter (500), the electrical modualtion amplitude is decreased from the setpoint to the minimum according to a predefined function. After the electrical modulation amplitude minimum is reached, me laser bias to the optical transmitter is decreased from a setpoint to a minimum according to a predefined function.

摘要:
The optoelectronic transceiver includes first and second controller ICs. Each controller IC includes logic, a memory, an interface, and at least one input port. Each memory is configured to store digital diagnostic data and has a unique serial device address to allow a host access to each of these controller ICs separately and independently At least some of the digital diagnostic data is common to both the first controller IC and the second controller IC. The inclusion of two controller ICs allows the same diagnostic data to be stored in completely different memory mapped locations. This allows hosts that are preconfigured differently to read different memory mapped locations on the different controller ICs to obtain the same diagnostic data.
