  • Patent number: 11119155
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are voltage driver circuits and methods of operating the same. In some embodiments, a plurality of circuit slices are provided in a voltage driver circuit, each circuit slice has a time constant, and is controlled to switchably connect a driver output to either a high voltage level or a low voltage level, or to disconnect the driver output from both voltage levels. The circuit slices may provide an adjustable output impedance, which may be set to match the impedance of different loads. The circuit slices may also provide adjustable voltages with low power consumption, particularly in high speed applications. The circuit slices may also have programmable capacitors that may be adjusted to provide a programmable time domain behavior of the output voltage waveform, such as a programmable voltage peaking characteristic.

  • Patent number: 10761130
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are voltage driver circuits and methods of operating the same. In some embodiments, a plurality of circuit slices are provided in a voltage driver circuit, each circuit slice is controlled to switchably connect a driver output to either a high voltage level or a low voltage level via a resistor, or to disconnect the driver output from both voltage levels. The circuit slices may provide an adjustable output impedance, which may be set to match the impedance of different loads. The circuit slices may also provide adjustable voltages with low power consumption, particularly in high speed applications. A calibration procedure is disclosed herein to generate a lookup table for how to selectively connect circuit slices to supply voltages given a target output voltage.

  • Patent number: 7657191
    Abstract: A bandwidth adjustable transimpedance amplifier. The bandwidth adjustable transimpedance amplifier includes a feedback path with a selectable resistance. The bandwidth adjustable transimpedance amplifier is preferably implemented with a photodiode in a five pin package for an optical transceiver system, with a single pin providing a monitor out function and a rate select input.

  • Patent number: 7516897
    Abstract: An automatic power control circuit for a laser driver includes precharge circuitry to precharge inputs to a comparator receiving an indication of laser output power, for example from a monitor photodiode. The precharge circuitry can be selectively activated when a laser driven by the laser driver is operating in burst mode, as opposed to operating in continuous mode. In addition, a digital up-down counter may be used to increase or decrease a digital value used to set a bias level for the laser, with the digital up-down counter counting up if the comparator indicates the laser output is too low and counting down if the comparator indicates the laser output is too high.

  • Publication number: 20060020481
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for managing, presenting and booking office space, conference rooms and other resources of a business center. Business center personnel may use the business center portal to manage the business center including managing the available business center facilities, generating reports, and generating work orders and work lists. Business center personnel may use the portal to create and change the details of business center facilities resources, equipment and services provided through the portal. Changes made to business center information at the portal are made in the business center's server, allowing the business center portal to be used to manage the business center's own servers and management system.

  • Publication number: 20060015491
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for presenting and booking office space, conference rooms and other resources of a real estate center. Visitors to a real estate center portal may view real estate center properties, check the availability of real estate center facilities resources such as offices or conference rooms, and book the facilities that meet their needs. The present invention allows automatic updating of real estate center facilities resources and synchronization between a real estate center booking system and the management systems of real estate centers. Real estate centers that use the booking system to manage inventory of their real estate center can provide real time availability of their available resources through the real estate center portal.
