  • Patent number: 10459474
    Abstract: A current sensor includes a current sensing resistor, a first transistor, a second transistor, a bias voltage generating circuit, and a current mirror. The first terminal of the first transistor is coupled to the first terminal of the current sensing resistor. The first terminal of the second transistor is coupled to the second terminal of the current sensing resistor. The bias voltage generating circuit supplies a first bias voltage to the control terminal of the first transistor and a second bias voltage to the control terminal of the second transistor. The first bias voltage and the second bias voltage are dependent on the voltage of the first input terminal or the voltage of the second input terminal. The two current terminals of the current mirror are coupled to the second terminals of the second transistor and the first transistor, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9397752
    Abstract: An optical transceiver module coupled to a device is provided. The optical transceiver module includes an electronic signal transmitting terminal coupled to a receiving terminal of the device, an electronic signal receiving terminal coupled to a transmitting terminal of the device, an optical signal receiving terminal coupled to the electronic signal transmitting terminal, and an optical signal transmitting terminal coupled to the electronic signal receiving terminal. When the optical transceiver module is at an normal operation state and the electronic signal receiving terminal does not receive any electronic signal over a first predetermined time period, the optical transceiver module enters a idle detection state to make the electronic signal transmitting terminal to perform a receiver termination detection to the device to determine whether the device is coupled to the optical transceiver module.

  • Patent number: 9031108
    Abstract: A temperature-compensated laser driving circuit for driving a laser component is provided. The temperature-compensated laser driving circuit includes: a temperature compensation circuit, configured to generate a second current based on a first current and a temperature-independent current; and a modulation current generating circuit, configured to generate a modulation current based on the second current, and calibrate optical power output of the laser component based on the modulation current. The first current is proportional to the absolute temperature. The second current and the first current have a slope relative to the absolute temperature respectively, and the slope of the second current relative to the absolute temperature is larger than of the slope of the first current relative to the absolute temperature.
