Integrated memory controller circuit for fiber optics transceiver

The present invention relates generally to the field of fiber optic transceivers and particularly to circuits used within the transceivers to accomplish control, setup, monitoring, and identification operations.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

The two most basic electronic circuits within a fiber optic transceiver are the laser driver circuit, which accepts high speed digital data and electrically drives an LED or laser diode to create equivalent optical pulses, and the receiver circuit which takes relatively small signals from an optical detector and amplifies and limits them to create a uniform amplitude digital electronic output. In addition to, and sometimes in conjunction with these basic functions, there are a number of other tasks that must be handled by the transceiver circuitry as well as a number of tasks that may optionally be handled by the transceiver circuit to improve its functionality. These tasks include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: <ul id="ul0001" list-style="bullet" compact="compact"><li>Setup functions. These generally relate to the required adjustments made on a part-to-part basis in the factory to allow for variations in component characteristics such as laser diode threshold current.</li><li>Identification. This refers to general purpose memory, typically EEPROM (electrically erasable and programmable read only memory) or other nonvolatile memory. The memory is preferably accessible using a serial communication standard, that is used to store various information identifying the transceiver type, capability, serial number, and compatibility with various standards. While not standard, it would be desirable to further store in this memory additional information, such as sub-component revisions and factory test data.</li><li>Eye safety and general fault detection. These functions are used to identify abnormal and potentially unsafe operating parameters and to report these to the user and/or perform laser shutdown, as appropriate.</li></ul>

In addition, it would be desirable in many transceivers for the control circuitry to perform some or all of the following additional functions: <ul id="ul0002" list-style="bullet" compact="compact"><li>Temperature compensation functions. For example, compensating for known temperature variations in key laser characteristics such as slope efficiency.</li><li>Monitoring functions. Monitoring various parameters related to the transceiver operating characteristics and environment. Examples of parameters that it would be desirable to monitor include laser bias current, laser output power, received power level, supply voltage and temperature. Ideally, these parameters should be monitored and reported to, or made available to, a host device and thus to the user of the transceiver.</li><li>Power on time. It would be desirable for the transceiver's control circuitry to keep track of the total number of hours the transceiver has been in the power on state, and to report or make this time value available to a host device.</li><li>Margining. "Margining" is a mechanism that allows the end user to test the transceiver's performance at a known deviation from ideal operating conditions, generally by scaling the control signals used to drive the transceiver's active components.</li><li>Other digital signals. It would be desirable to enable a host device to be able to configure the transceiver so as to make it compatible with various requirements for the polarity and output types of digital inputs and outputs. For instance, digital inputs are used for transmitter disable and rate selection functions while outputs are used to indicate transmitter fault and loss of signal conditions. The configuration values would determine the polarity of one or more of the binary input and output signals. In some transceivers it would be desirable to use the configuration values to specify the scale of one or more of the digital input or output values, for instance by specifying a scaling factor to be used in conjunction with the digital input or output value.</li></ul>

Few if any of these additional functions are implemented in most transceivers, in part because of the cost of doing so. Some of these functions have been implemented using discrete circuitry, for example using a general purpose EEPROM for identification purposes, by inclusion of some functions within the laser driver or receiver circuitry (for example some degree of temperature compensation in a laser driver circuit) or with the use of a commercial micro-controller integrated circuit. However, to date there have not been any transceivers that provide a uniform device architecture that will support all of these functions, as well as additional functions not listed here, in a cost effective manner.

It is the purpose of the present invention to provide a general and flexible integrated circuit that accomplishes all (or any subset) of the above functionality using a straightforward memory mapped architecture and a simple serial communication mechanism.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of the essential features of a typical prior-art fiber optic transceiver. The main circuit 1 contains at a minimum transmit and receiver circuit paths and power 19 and ground connections 18. The receiver circuit typically consists of a Receiver Optical Subassembly (ROSA) 2 which contains a mechanical fiber receptacle as well as a photodiode and pre-amplifier (preamp) circuit. The ROSA is in turn connected to a post-amplifier (postamp) integrated circuit 4, the function of which is to generate a fixed output swing digital signal which is connected to outside circuitry via the RX+ and RX- pins 17. The postamp circuit also often provides a digital output signal known as Signal Detect or Loss of Signal indicating the presence or absence of suitably strong optical input. The Signal Detect output is provided as an output on pin 18. The transmit circuit will typically consist of a Transmitter Optical Subassembly (TOSA), 3 and a laser driver integrated circuit 5. The TOSA contains a mechanical fiber receptacle as well as a laser diode or LED. The laser driver circuit will typically provide AC drive and DC bias current to the laser. The signal inputs for the AC driver are obtained from the TX+ and TX- pins 12. Typically, the laser driver circuitry will require individual factory setup of certain parameters such as the bias current (or output power) level and AC modulation drive to the laser. Typically this is accomplished by adjusting variable resistors or placing factory selected resistors7, 9 (i.e., having factory selected resistance values). Additionally, temperature compensation of the bias current and modulation is often required. This function can be integrated in the laser driver integrated circuit or accomplished through the use of external temperature sensitive elements such as thermistors 6, 8.

In addition to the most basic functions described above, some transceiver platform standards involve additional functionality. Examples of this are the TX disable 13 and TX fault 14 pins described in the GBIC standard. In the GBIC standard, the TX disable pin allows the transmitter to be shut off by the host device, while the TX fault pin is an indicator to the host device of some fault condition existing in the laser or associated laser driver circuit. In addition to this basic description, the GBIC standard includes a series of timing diagrams describing how these controls function and interact with each other to implement reset operations and other actions. Most of this functionality is aimed at preventing non-eyesafe emission levels when a fault conditions exists in the laser circuit. These functions may be integrated into the laser driver circuit itself or in an optional additional integrated circuit 11. Finally, the GBIC standard also requires the EEPROM 10 to store standardized serial ID information that can be read out via a serial interface (defined as using the serial interface of the ATMEL AT24C01A family of EEPROM products) consisting of a clock 15 and data 16 line.

As an alternative to mechanical fiber receptacles, some prior art transceivers use fiber optic pigtails which are standard, male fiber optic connectors.

Similar principles clearly apply to fiber optic transmitters or receivers that only implement half of the full transceiver functions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

A transceiver 100 based on the present invention is shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The transceiver 100 contains a Receiver Optical Subassembly (ROSA) 102 and Transmitter Optical Subassembly (TOSA) 103 along with associated post-amplifier 104 and laser driver 105 integrated circuits that communicate the high speed electrical signals to the outside world. In this case, however, all other control and setup functions are implemented with a third single-chip integrated circuit 110 called the controller IC.

The controller IC 110 handles all low speed communications with the end user. These include the standardized pin functions such as Loss of Signal (LOS) 111, Transmitter Fault Indication (TX FAULT) 14, and the Transmitter Disable Input (TXDIS) 13. The controller IC 110 has a two wire serial interface 121, also called the memory interface, for accessing memory mapped locations in the controller. Memory Map Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4, below, are an exemplary memory map for one embodiment of a transceiver controller, as implemented in one embodiment of the present invention. It is noted that Memory Map Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4, in addition to showing a memory map of values and control features described in this document, also show a number of parameters and control mechanisms that are outside the scope of this document and thus are not part of the present invention.

The interface 121 is coupled to host device interface input/output lines, typically clock (SCL) and data (SDA) lines, 15 and 16. In the preferred embodiment, the serial interface 121 operates in accordance with the two wire serial interface standard that is also used in the GBIC and SFP standards, however other serial interfaces could equally well be used in alternate embodiments. The two wire serial interface 121 is used for all setup and querying of the controller IC 110, and enables access to the optoelectronic transceiver's control circuitry as a memory mapped device. That is, tables and parameters are set up by writing values to predefined memory locations of one or more nonvolatile memory devices 120, 122, 128 (e.g., EEPROM devices) in the controller, whereas diagnostic and other output and status values are output by reading predetermined memory locations of the same nonvolatile memory devices 120, 121, 122. This technique is consistent with currently defined serial ID functionality of many transceivers where a two wire serial interface is used to read out identification and capability data stored in EEPROM.

It is noted here that some of the memory locations in the memory devices 120, 122, 128 are dual ported, or even triple ported in some instances. That is, while these memory mapped locations can be read and in some cases written via the serial interface 121, they are also directly accessed by other circuitry in the controller 110. For instance, certain "margining" values stored in memory 120 are read and used directly by logic 134 to adjust (i.e., scale upwards or downwards) drive level signals being sent to the D/A output devices 123. Similarly, there are flags stored memory 128 that are (A) written by logic circuit 131, and (B) read directly by logic circuit 133. An example of a memory mapped location not in memory devices but that is effectively dual ported is the output or result register of clock 132. In this case the accumulated time value in the register is readable via the serial interface 121, but is written by circuitry in the clock circuit 132.

In addition to the result register of the clock 132, other memory mapped locations in the controller may be implemented as registers at the input or output of respective sub-circuits of the controller. For instance, the margining values used to control the operation of logic 134 may be stored in registers in or near logic 134 instead of being stored within memory device 128. In another example, measurement values generated by the ADC 127 may be stored in registers. The memory interface 121 is configured to enable the memory interface to access each of these registers whenever the memory interface receives a command to access the data stored at the corresponding predefined memory mapped location. In such embodiments, "locations within the memory" include memory mapped registers throughout the controller.

In an alternate embodiment, the time value in the result register of the clock 132, or a value corresponding to that time value, is periodically stored in a memory location with the memory 128 (e.g., this may be done once per minute, or one per hour of device operation). In this alternate embodiment, the time value read by the host device via interface 121 is the last time value stored into the memory 128, as opposed to the current time value in the result register of the clock 132.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the controller IC 110 has connections to the laser driver 105 and receiver components. These connections serve multiple functions. The controller IC has a multiplicity of D/A converters 123. In the preferred embodiment the D/A converters are implemented as current sources, but in other embodiments the D/A converters may be implemented using voltage sources, and in yet other embodiments the D/A converters may be implemented using digital potentiometers. In the preferred embodiment, the output signals of the D/A converters are used to control key parameters of the laser driver circuit 105. In one embodiment, outputs of the D/A converters 123 are use to directly control the laser bias current as well as control of the level AC modulation to the laser (constant bias operation). In another embodiment, the outputs of the D/A converters 123 of the controller 110 control the level of average output power of the laser driver 105 in addition to the AC modulation level (constant power operation).

In a preferred embodiment, the controller 110 includes mechanisms to compensate for temperature dependent characteristics of the laser. This is implemented in the controller 110 through the use of temperature lookup tables 122 that are used to assign values to the control outputs as a function of the temperature measured by a temperature sensor 125 within the controller IC 110. In alternate embodiments, the controller 110 may use D/A converters with voltage source outputs or may even replace one or more of the D/A converters 123 with digital potentiometers to control the characteristics of the laser driver 105. It should also be noted that while Fig. 2 refers to a system where the laser driver 105 is specifically designed to accept inputs from the controller 110, it is possible to use the controller IC 110 with many other laser driver ICs to control their output characteristics.

In addition to temperature dependent analog output controls, the controller IC may be equipped with a multiplicity of temperature independent (one memory set value) analog outputs. These temperature independent outputs serve numerous functions, but one particularly interesting application is as a fine adjustment to other settings of the laser driver 105 or postamp 104 in order to compensate for process induced variations in the characteristics of those devices. One example of this might be the output swing of the receiver postamp 104. Normally such a parameter would be fixed at design time to a desired value through the use of a set resistor. It often turns out, however, that normal process variations associated with the fabrication of the postamp integrated circuit 104 induce undesirable variations in the resulting output swing with a fixed set resistor. Using the present invention, an analog output of the controller IC 110, produced by an additional D/A converter 123, is used to adjust or compensate the output swing setting at manufacturing setup time on a part-by-part basis.

In addition to the connection from the controller to the laser driver 105, Fig. 2 shows a number of connections from the laser driver 105 to the controller IC 110, as well as similar connections from the ROSA 106 and Postamp 104 to the controller IC 110. These are analog monitoring connections that the controller IC 110 uses to provide diagriostic feedback to the host device via memory mapped locations in the controller IC. The controller IC 110 in the preferred embodiment has a multiplicity of analog inputs. The analog input signals indicate operating conditions of the transceiver and/or receiver circuitry. These analog signals are scanned by a multiplexer 124 and converted using an analog to digital converter (ADC) 127. The ADC 127 has 12 bit resolution in the preferred embodiment, although ADC's with other resolution levels may be used in other embodiments. The converted values are stored in predefined memory locations, for instance in the diagnostic value and flag storage device 128 shown in Fig. 3, and are accessible to the host device via memory reads. These values are calibrated to standard units (such as millivolts or microwatts) as part of a factory calibration procedure.

The digitized quantities stored in memory mapped locations within the controller IC include, but are not limited to, the laser bias current, transmitted laser power, and received power (as measured by the photodiode detector in the ROSA 102). In the memory map tables (e.g., Table 1), the measured laser bias current is denoted as parameter B_in, the measured transmitted laser power is denoted as P_in, and the measured received power is denoted as R_in. The memory map tables indicate the memory locations where, in an exemplary implementation, these measured values are stored, and also show where the corresponding limit values, flag values, and configuration values (e.g., for indicating the polarity of the flags) are stored.

As shown in Fig. 3, the controller 110 includes a voltage supply sensor 126. An analog voltage level signal generated by this sensor is converted to a digital voltage level signal by the ADC 127, and the digital voltage level signal is stored in memory 128. In a preferred embodiment, the A/D input mux 124 and ADC 127 are controlled by a clock signal so as to automatically, periodically convert the monitored signals into digital signals, and to store those digital values in memory 128.

Furthermore, as the digital values are generated, the value comparison logic 131 of the controller compares these values to predefined limit values. The limit values are preferably stored in memory 128 at the factory, but the host device may overwrite the originally programmed limit values with new limit values. Each monitored signal is automatically compared with both a lower limit and upper limit value, resulting in the generation of two limit flag values that are then stored in the diagnostic value and flag storage device 128. For any monitored signals where there is no meaningful upper or lower limit, the corresponding limit value can be set to a value that will never cause the corresponding flag to be set.

The limit flags are also sometimes call alarm and warning flags. The host device (or end user) can monitor these flags to determine whether conditions exist that are likely to have caused a transceiver link to fail (alarm flags) or whether conditions exist which predict that a failure is likely to occur soon. Examples of such conditions might be a laser bias current which has fallen to zero, which is indicative of an immediate failure of the transmitter output, or a laser bias current in a constant power mode which exceeds its nominal value by more than 50%, which is an indication of a laser end-of-life condition. Thus, the automatically generated limit flags are useful because they provide a simple pass-fail decision on the transceiver functionality based on internally stored limit values.

In a preferred embodiment, fault control and logic circuit 133 logically OR's the alarm and warning flags, along with the internal LOS (loss of signal) input and Fault Input signals, to produce a binary Transceiver fault (TxFault) signal that is coupled to the host interface, and thus made available to the host device. The host device can be programmed to monitor the TxFault signal, and to respond to an assertion of the TxFault signal by automatically reading all the alarm and warning flags in the transceiver, as well as the corresponding monitored signals, so as to determine the cause of the alarm or warning.

The fault control and logic circuit 133 furthermore conveys a loss of signal (LOS) signal received from the receiver circuit (ROSA, Fig. 2) to the host interface.

Another function of the fault control and logic circuit 133 is to disable the operation of the transmitter (TOSA, Fig. 2) when needed to ensure eye safety. There is a standards defined interaction between the state of the laser driver and the Tx Disable output, which is implemented by the fault control and logic circuit 133. When the logic circuit 133 detects a problem that might result in an eye safety hazard, the laser driver is disabled by activating the Tx Disable signal of the controller. The host device can reset this condition by sending a command signal on the TxDisableCmd line of the host interface.

Yet another function of the fault control and logic circuit 133 is to determine the polarity of its input and output signals in accordance with a set of configuration flags stored in memory 128. For instance, the Loss of Signal (LOS) output of circuit 133 may be either a logic low or logic high signal, as determined by a corresponding configuration flag stored in memory 128.

Other configuration flags (see Table 4) stored in memory 128 are used to determine the polarity of each of the warning and alarm flags. Yet other configuration values stored in memory 128 are used to determine the scaling applied by the ADC 127 when converting each of the monitored analog signals into digital values.

In an alternate embodiment, another input to the controller 102, at the host interface, is a rate selection signal. In Fig. 3 the rate selection signal is input to logic 133. This host generated signal would typically be a digital signal that specifies the expected data rate of data to be received by the receiver (ROSA 102). For instance, the rate selection signal might have two values, representing high and low data rates (e.g., 2.5 Gb/s and 1.25 Gb/s). The controller responds to the rate selection signal by generating control signals to set the analog receiver circuitry to a bandwidth corresponding to the value specified by the rate selection signal.

While the combination of all of the above functions is desired in the preferred embodiment of this transceiver controller, it should be obvious to one skilled in the art that a device which only implements a subset of these functions would also be of great use. Similarly, the present invention is also applicable to transmitters and receivers, and thus is not solely applicable to transceivers. Finally, it should be pointed out that the controller of the present invention is suitable for application of multichannel optical links. <tables id="tabl0001" num="0001"><table frame="all"><title>TABLE 1</title><tgroup cols="3" colsep="1" rowsep="1"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="52.50mm" /><colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="52.50mm" /><colspec colnum="3" colname="col3" colwidth="52.50mm" /><thead valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col3" align="center">MEMORY MAP FOR TRANSCEIVER CONTROLLER</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left"><b>Memory Location (Array 0)</b></entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="left"><b>Name of Location</b></entry><entry namest="col3" nameend="col3" align="left"><b>Function</b></entry></row></thead><tbody valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">00h - 5Fh</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="left">IEEE Data</entry><entry namest="col3" nameend="col3" align="left">This memory block is used to store required GBIC data</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">60h</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="left">Temperature MSB</entry><entry namest="col3" nameend="col3" align="left">This byte contains the MSB of the 15-bit 2's complement temperature output from the temperature sensor.</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">61h</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="left">Temperature LSB</entry><entry namest="col3" nameend="col3" align="left">This byte contains the LSB of the 15-bit 2's complement temperature output from the temperature sensor.
