Burst-mode receiver, and method of bias voltage control for APD of burst-mode receiver |
摘要 |
A burst-mode receiver for receiving burst optical signals having different intensities by a reversely connected APD, including: a current detection circuit outputting a photocurrent that is generated by APD and is output from a current mirror circuit (CMC) as a voltage proportional to the photocurrent, the CMC being connected in series between a power supply and APD; a peak detector circuit detecting and holding a peak value of the output voltage of the current detection circuit; a resistor connection switching circuit, which is inserted between the CMC and APD, for connecting a series resistor to APD in series by switching; and a comparator outputting a switching signal for switching the resistor connection switching circuit so that the series resistor is connected to APD in series in a case where a voltage detected by the peak detector circuit is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold. |
