OPTICAL COMMUNICATION CIRCUITS

摘要

Various apparatuses, circuits, systems, and methods for optical communication are disclosed. In some implementations, an apparatus includes a package substrate and f first interposer mounted on the package substrate. The apparatus also includes a logic circuit and an optical interface circuit connected to the logic circuit via the first interposer. One of the optical interface circuit or the logic circuit is mounted on the first interposer. The optical interface circuit includes a driver circuit configured to receive electronic data signals from the logic circuit. The optical interface circuit also includes an optical transmitter circuit coupled to the driver circuit and configured to output optical data signals encoding the electronic data signals.
