  • Publication number: 20240072902
    Abstract: An optical transmitter chip based on OTN transmission technology, which solves the high bit error rate in existing OTN technology for data transmission below 100 m in the data center, includes a transmitter TX, a digital control unit DIGIITAL, and a power module POWER. The transmitter TX first uses the optical modulation amplitude signal loss module to complete a judgment of an optical modulation amplitude for an attenuated electrical signal transmitted through metal traces on a PCB board. Only if the signal is greater than the preset threshold, an enable signal is output to control a linear equalizer and a laser driver to start, and open a signal transmission path for the chip-driven laser to emit an optical signal. The linear equalizer and the bypass ByPass process signal optimization in two-stage, then the signal is sent to the laser driver to drive the laser to emit an optical signal.

  • Publication number: 20240072906
    Abstract: An optical receiver chip based on OTN transmission technology to solve the high power consumption and serous signal attenuation problems for data transmission below 100 m in the data center includes a receiver, a digital control unit, and a power module. The receiver includes a 28 G transimpedance amplifier and a limiting amplifier, converts a weak optical signal into an electrical signal, process a two-stage amplification, and output the signal in a limited state. The signal is then processed by a photodiode into a DC current RSSI, and judged by the internal received signal strength indicator module or the internal optical modulation amplitude loss of signal module of the limiting amplifier. If the signal does not meet the protocol requirements, the output buffer with de-emphasis and the linear equalizer are turned off, and the judgment result is transmitted to the host computer outside the chip simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 11777452
    Abstract: A high-speed transimpedance amplifier with bandwidth extension feature over full temperature range and bandwidth extension method belong to the field of integrated circuit. The present invention solves the problem existed in boosting core amplifier bandwidth technology over full temperature range. The present invention includes a preamplifier TIA, a phase splitting stage PS, a pre-driver stage Pre-Drive, an output buffer BUFF and an offset cancelation circuit OC. The preamplifier TIA adopts the gate-drain voltage cancelation technology to expand the bandwidth, so that its ?3 dB bandwidth is greater than twice the closed-loop bandwidth of the first-order TIA. The pre-driver stage Pre-Drive is used to drive the output buffer BUFF. By adjusting the source-level negative feedback capacitance value of the pre-driver stage Pre-Drive circuit to generate a high-frequency gain that varies with temperature, the preamplifier TIA bandwidth differences under different temperature conditions are compensated.
