A 1.4 Gb/s 12-channel parallel laser diode driver IC for optical interconnections
The authors present a 12-channel parallel laser diode (LD) driver with 16.8 Gb/s throughput. The driver IC creates skew-free output and provides temperature compensation of the optical power of the LD. The IC also suppresses ringing oscillation and crosstalk. The die is 2.5x3.5 mm/sup 2/ using a 15 GHz f/sub /spl tau// Si bipolar process. The power supply voltage is 5 V and the power consumption is 4.2 W including the PECL level input signal consumption of 1.1 W and the output signal consumption of 2.0 W at 3l mApp + 2 mA bias.
Gigabit-per-second optical parallel transmitter/receiver modules with fully integrated GaAs MESFET LSI chips
In future broadband ISDN both large-capacity transmission lines and high throughput for handling a large number of high-speed signals, such as full-motion video, will be required for transmission/switching systems.1 High-throughput interconnection techniques for inter- and intra-frames, units, boards, and LSI chips are expected for realizing these systems. In particular, optical parallel-transmission techniques2 are especially important in high-throughput interconnection because electrical parallel-transmission techniques limit the transmission capacity, transmission distance, and flexibility of system installation. In this paper we report on gigabit-per-second optical parallel trans- mitter/receiver modules with GaAs MESFET LSI chips for overcoming the electrical limitations.
