    摘要: 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.

    摘要: An example phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit includes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) configured to generate an output clock based on an oscillator control voltage, a sub-sampling phase detector configured to receive a reference clock and the output clock, and a phase frequency detector configured to receive the reference clock and a feedback clock. The PLL circuit includes a charge pump configured to generate a charge pump current, a multiplexer circuit configured to select either output of the sub-sampling phase detector or output of the phase frequency detector to control the charge pump, and a lock detector configured to receive the reference clock, the feedback clock, and the output of the phase frequency detector to control the multiplexer. The PLL circuit includes a loop filter configured to filter the charge pump current and generate the oscillator control voltage, and a frequency divider configured to generate the reference clock from the output clock.

    摘要: Some examples described herein provide an integrated circuit comprising an auxiliary clock and data recovery (CDR) circuitry. The CDR circuitry is configured to oversample an incoming data signal and generate a locked clock signal. The auxiliary CDR circuitry may comprise a phase-locked loop (PLL) configured to receive the incoming data signal and generate the locked clock signal. The PLL may comprise a phase detector (PD) configured to receive the incoming data signal and capture a number of samples of the incoming data signal in response to a number of adjacent clock signals and minimum data transition thresholds implemented by an intersymbol interference (ISI) filter, the minimum data transition thresholds identifying minimum data transitions in the incoming data signal.

    摘要: Examples described herein generally relate to a temperature-locked loop for optical elements. In an example, a device includes a controller and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The controller includes a DC-controllable transimpedance stage (DCTS), a slicer circuit, and a processor. The DCTS is configured to be coupled to a photodiode. An input node of the slicer circuit is coupled to an output node of the DCTS. The processor has an input node coupled to an output node of the slicer circuit. The DAC has an input node coupled to an output node of the processor and is configured to be coupled to a heater. The processor is configured to control (i) the DCTS to reduce a DC component of a signal on the output node of the DCTS and (ii) an output voltage on the output node of the DAC, both based on a signal output by the slicer circuit.

    摘要: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and circuit for clock phase generation are disclosed. The circuit includes an injection locked oscillator, a loop controller, and a phase interpolator. The injection locked oscillator includes an input for receiving an injected clock signal and an output for forwarding a set of fixed clock phases. The loop controller includes an input for receiving a phase separation error of the fixed clock phases and an output for forwarding a supply voltage derived from the phase separation error. The supply voltage matches the free running frequency of the injection locked oscillator to a frequency of the injected clock signal. The phase interpolator includes an input for receiving the set of fixed clock phases directly from the injection locked oscillator, an input for receiving the supply voltage from the loop controller, and an output for forwarding an arbitrary clock phase.
