Abstract
The application relates to a unique optoelectronic module configured to operate simultaneously at high-speed bit rate and low speed bit rate, thanks to a reconfigurable system on a chip, i.e. a programmable unit on a chip. This reconfigurable system embeds the electronic circuitry of the low-speed channel(s), i.e. at least the driver when the link is a transmission channel, or at least the amplifier when the link is a receiver channel.
Claims12
An optoelectronic module, comprising:
- a host printed circuit board (PCB);
- an optoelectronic die, which is configured to an electronic processing of data signals at high-speed rate;
- at least one optoelectronic sub-assembly (OSA) that resides on the host PCB, said OSA comprising:
- at least one channel dedicated to transmission of data signals at high-speed rate,
- at least one channel dedicated to transmission of data signals at low-speed rate,
- at least one optical media and alignment means configured to align each active area of the optoelectronic die with the at least one optical media,
- a reconfigurable system on a chip (RSOC) that resides on the host PCB, which is configured to embed functions of electronic processing of the low-speed data signals and to control the electronic processing of both the high speed and low speed data signals, and wherein the RSOC can be remotely reconfigured through an optical path, which include a specific key data message, when received at the at least one channel dedicated to transmission of data signals at low-speed rate.
