Optical driver with asymmetric pre-emphasis
Abstract:
An optical driver is disclosed, including a PMOS pull-up circuit, an NMOS pull-down circuit, and an inductive circuit. The PMOS pull-up circuit may include a first terminal to receive a first input signal based on a received data signal, and a P output terminal coupled to the inductive circuit. The NMOS pull-down circuit may include a second input terminal to receive a second input signal based on the received data signal, and an N output terminal coupled to the inductive circuit. The inductive circuit may include an L output terminal to output an output signal, a P coil coupled between the P output terminal and the L output terminal, and an N coil coupled between the N output terminal and the L output terminal. The P coil may be configured to hide a parasitic capacitance associated with the PMOS pull-up circuit during a falling edge transition of the received data signal, and the N coil may be configured to hide a parasitic capacitance associated with the NMOS pull-down circuit during a rising edge transition of the received data signal.
