An optical communication device which can be operated at high speed is provided. For example, the optical communication device includes: a pre-amplifier circuit PREAMP1 amplifying a current signal Iin from a photodiode PD, and converting an amplified signal into a voltage signal; and an operating-point controller circuit VTCTL1 controlling an operation of the PREAMP1. The PREAMP1 includes a negative feedback path formed by a feedback resistance Rf1, and includes: a level-shift circuit LS1 level-shifting in accordance with an operating-point control signal Vcon; and an amplifier circuit AMP1 connected to a subsequent stage of the LS1 and performing an amplifying operation with a high gain. The VTCTL1 includes a replica circuit configured by the same circuit and circuit parameter as those of the AMP1 and electrically connected between the input and the output, and generates the Vcon so that an output DC level of this replica circuit is matched with an input DC level of the AMP1.

The amplifier circuit block includes an analog adder for subtracting an output signal of the compensation circuit block from an input signal and an amplifier circuit operating in a wide band. The compensation circuit block includes an amplifier circuit with a low offset voltage and a low noise in a low frequency region, an analog adder block for subtracting an output signal of the amplifier circuit from an output signal of the amplifier circuit and generating a differential signal thereof, and a feedback circuit block for negatively feeding back the differential signal to the analog adder. The amplifier circuit block can reduce the offset voltage and the low-band noise by the negative feedback of the differential signal, and at the same time, the operation band of the entire amplifier circuit can be decided by the characteristic of the amplifier circuit.

An optical module including a transimpedance amplifier capable of realizing a high-speed and high-quality receiving operation is provided. A transimpedance amplifier includes: a pre-amplifier using a single-end current signal as an input and converting the single-end current signal to a single-end voltage signal; an automatic decision threshold control detecting a center electric potential of the single-end voltage signal serving as an output of the pre-amplifier; a post-amplifier differentiating and amplifying the single-end voltage signal of the output of the pre-amplifier; and a power circuit supplying power to the pre-amplifier. Particularly, in accordance with an input voltage signal or an output voltage signal of the pre-amplifier, the power circuit outputs a varied current that flows to a supply terminal of the pre-amplifier and a varied current having a phase opposite to that of the varied current. Thus, the power supply current change is cancelled out.
