  • Patent number: 7304542
    Abstract: A feedback resistor of a feedback circuit included in a photo-receiving amplifier element is formed on an island region in which an electric potential is in a floating state. The island region is electrically isolated from an island region on which an element other than the feedback resistor is formed. This enables the response speed of the photo-receiving amplifier element to be increased without changing the process of the circuit or varying a resistance value of the feedback resistor in a first-stage amplifier unit.

  • Patent number: 7263046
    Abstract: A two-stage amplifier of a first-stage amplifier 21 and second-stage amplifiers 22 and 23 is provided. A writing mode and reproducing modes are switched in the first-stage amplifier 21 by switching a parallel circuit of a feedback capacitor Cf1w and a feedback resistor Rf1w and a parallel circuit of a feedback capacitor Cf1r and a feedback resistor Rf1r. The second-stage amplifier 23 is provided with feedback resistors Rf22 and Rf23 that are connected to each other in parallel. The feedback resistor Rf23 is connected in the feedback loop by a switch transistor QSW only when reproducing a high-reflective disk. This enables an amplifier gain to be suitably set for each of writing, low-reflective disk reproducing, and high-reflective disk reproducing. As a result, desirable reproducing characteristics can be obtained for the low-reflective disk while accommodating high-speed writing with a large laser power.

  • Patent number: 6480311
    Abstract: In a peak-hold circuit, a hold capacitor captures the peak value of an input signal and a reset section carries out a resetting operation on the holding value of the hold capacitor when, upon switching inputs, it receives a reset signal. The reset section, upon receipt of the reset signal, improves the response speed of a peak-hold section by a predetermined time period. The reset section is provided with a constant current circuit and a switching circuit for respectively increasing a charging current and a discharging current of the peak-hold section.

  • Patent number: 6147533
    Abstract: A data communication receiving element includes a photo-receiving element for receiving an external light signal and for converting the light signal to a current signal. It further includes an amplifier circuit for amplifying the current signal after converting the current signal to a voltage signal. A waveform shaping circuit is included for shaping an output voltage waveform from the amplifier circuit to a substantially square pulse. Finally, an integrator is included for converting the substantially square pulse to a non-square pulse. This is achieved by extending a rising time necessary for shifting the substantially square pulse from a low potential level to a high potential level, and by extending a falling time necessary for shifting the substantially square pulse from the high potential level to the low potential level. As such, deterioration of an S/N ratio is suppressed.

  • Patent number: 6137101
    Abstract: A light receiving amplifying device includes a light receiving device for outputting a light signal current which varies with a quantity of received light, a load resistor connected with the light receiving device in series, for generating a detected voltage which varies with the light signal current, and a low frequency current bypass circuit for preventing the detected voltage from being saturated when the detected voltage has a frequency in a low frequency band. The low frequency current bypass circuit is connected with the load resistor in parallel and has an input impedance varying with a frequency of the detected voltage. The device further includes a transimpedance amplifying circuit (inverting amplifying circuit) for transforming an impedance of the detected voltage, and a capacitor for coupling the low frequency current bypass circuit and the transimpedance amplifying circuit (inverting amplifying circuit).
