  • Patent number: 12170862
    Abstract: A 10 G rate OLT terminal transceiver integrated chip based on XGPON and DFB laser includes: a burst mode receiver RX, a continuous mode transmitter TX and a digital control unit DIGIITAL. The burst mode receiver RX amplifies an optical signal from each ONU client into an electrical signal through a burst TIA, processes double-detection for amplitude and frequency of the electrical signal, outputs the signal whose amplitude and waveform pulse width meet the threshold requirements to the host, and uses a fast recovery module to control the timing to meet the XGPON protocol. The continuous mode transmitter TX receives the electrical signal attenuated by the PCB, and selects the bypass BYPASS path or the clock data recovery CDR path according to the degree of attenuation. The digital control unit DIGIITAL is used to provide control signals for the burst mode receiver RX and the continuous mode transmitter TX.

  • Patent number: 12015244
    Abstract: A DFB laser DC-coupled output power configuration scheme with adjustable voltage difference. utilizes an external or internal power configuration unit to provide two electric DC power supplies with a fixed voltage difference for the transmitting unit TX of the DFB laser and the optical transceiver integrated chip, and at the same time optimizes the transmitting unit TX. The optimization scheme is that: the transistors in the transmitting unit TX are all low-voltage high-speed tubes, the transmitting unit TX includes a negative capacitance structure composed of capacitors C1 and C2, serving as an auxiliary structure for improving bandwidth. After optimization, the minimum voltage of the power supply voltage port TVCC of the transmitting unit TX is 2.7V and the problems that the output eye diagram is severely cracked and cannot be used when the traditional DFB laser configuration scheme with an external 3.3V power supply is tested at high temperature are solved.
