Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of circuit design, and in particular to a VCSEL bias circuit and related equipment. Background Art
[0002] With the development of society, new technologies such as 5G, virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI) are constantly evolving, and the demand for bandwidth for massive data is also increasing. Compared with traditional copper wire communication, fiber optic communication has the advantages of high bandwidth, no interference from radio waves, and high transmission quality. It has become the first choice for wired communication network wiring. Optical communication systems are generally composed of optical fibers, optical transceivers, and passive optical devices, among which the optical transceiver module completes the electro-optical conversion function. Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is a laser diode technology mainly used in short-distance laser communication. It is widely used in data centers, fiber channel storage and other fields. It has the advantages of low cost and easy integration.
[0003] Traditional VCSEL driving circuits include AC coupling and DC coupling. AC coupling requires the use of external components such as capacitors and inductors, which is costly and not conducive to optimizing PCB design. DC coupling can be divided into two driving modes: common cathode and common anode. Due to physical structure limitations, common cathode VCSEL laser diodes occupy a mainstream position in the market.
[0004] The traditional common cathode VCSEL laser diode bias circuit mainly uses resistor bias or PMOS current source as the bias current source. However, using a resistor to provide bias current for the laser diode requires the system to introduce a second power supply to effectively control the bias current, which brings inconvenience to the system application; using a PMOS current source as the bias current, the device parasitic capacitance introduced by the PMOS current source is large, which affects the output stage bandwidth and limits high-speed communication applications. In addition, the output impedance of the PMOS current source is high. When the distance between the VCSEL laser diode and the chip is long, the signal path impedance discontinuity introduces reflections, and the optical eye diagram will be significantly distorted.

[0042] for Figure 1 The bias circuit shown uses a resistor R to provide a bias current for the laser diode. This method requires the system to introduce a second power supply to effectively control the bias current, which brings inconvenience to the application of the system.
[0043] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another VCSEL bias circuit in the prior art. Figure 2 The bias circuit shown uses a PMOS current source as the bias current. The parasitic capacitance Cpar introduced by the PMOS current source is usually between several hundred fF and several pF, which affects the output stage bandwidth and limits high-speed communication applications. In addition, the output impedance of the PMOS current source is relatively high. When the distance between the laser diode and the chip is long, the discontinuous signal path impedance introduces reflections, and the optical eye diagram will be significantly distorted.
[0044] Based on the above defects in the prior art, the present application proposes a new bias circuit. Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a VCSEL bias circuit is provided for an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the bias circuit includes: a differential circuit, a resistor Rd, a resistor Rt, a PMOS transistor M0, a reference voltage source Vref, a modulation current source, an operational amplifier, a filter resistor Rf, a filter capacitor Cf and a laser diode;
[0045] The source of the PMOS transistor M0 is connected to the DC voltage source VCC, the drain of the PMOS transistor M0 is connected to the first port of the resistor Rd, the first port of the resistor Rt and the positive electrode of the reference voltage source Vref, the negative electrode of the reference voltage source Vref is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier, the output port of the operational amplifier is connected to the gate of the PMOS transistor M0, the second port of the resistor Rd is connected to the first port of the differential circuit, the second port of the resistor Rt is connected to the output port of the differential circuit, the output port of the differential circuit is connected to the anode of the laser diode and the first port of the filter resistor Rf, the second port of the filter resistor Rf is connected to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier and the first port of the filter capacitor Cf, the second port of the differential circuit is connected to the positive electrode of the modulation current source, the negative electrode of the modulation current source, the cathode of the laser diode and the second port of the filter capacitor Cf are all grounded;
[0046] When the feedback loop formed by the operational amplifier, the PMOS transistor M0, the resistor Rt, the reference voltage source Vref, the filter resistor Rf and the filter capacitor Cf is stable, the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier is equal to the voltage at the inverting input terminal;
[0047] When the voltage between the first input port and the second input port of the differential circuit is the first voltage, the current Ivcsel on the laser diode is equal to Ibias.
[0048] When the voltage between the first input port and the second input port of the differential circuit is the second voltage, the current Ivcsel on the laser diode is equal to Ibias-Imod;
[0049] The first voltage is greater than the second voltage, Ibias=Vref / Rt, Imod is the output current of the modulation current source, and the reference voltage source Vref is a voltage source with an adjustable output voltage.
[0050] In an optional embodiment, the differential circuit includes: transistor Q0, transistor Q1, resistor R0 and resistor R1
[0051] Wherein, the collector and base of the transistor Q0 are respectively the first port and the first input port of the differential circuit, the collector and the base of the transistor Q1 are respectively the output port and the second input port of the differential circuit, the emitter of the transistor Q0 is connected to the first port of the resistor R0, the emitter of the transistor Q1 is connected to the second port of the resistor R1, and the second port of the resistor R0 and the first port of the resistor R1 are both connected to the positive electrode of the modulation current source;
[0052] When the voltage between the first input port and the second input port of the differential circuit is a first voltage, the transistor Q0 is in an on state, and the transistor Q1 is in an off state;
[0053] When the voltage between the first input port and the second input port of the differential circuit is the second voltage, the transistor Q0 is in a closed state, and the transistor Q1 is in a conducting state.
[0054] Specifically, the resistor Rt is an output matching resistor, which is used to match the VCSEL AC impedance, thereby avoiding the distortion of the optical eye diagram caused by impedance discontinuity. Usually Rt = 50 ohms. By detecting the voltage across Rt and comparing it with the preset reference voltage source Vref, when the feedback loop formed by the operational amplifier and the PMOS transistor M0 is stable, the voltage at the in-phase input terminal of the operational amplifier is equal to the voltage at the inverting input terminal. At this time, Vref = Ibias*Rt. It can be seen that the laser diode bias current can be changed by changing the output voltage of the reference voltage source Vref. The anode of the laser diode is a high-frequency signal. In order to avoid the parasitic capacitance affecting the high-frequency performance and also for the stable operation of the loop, a low-pass filter composed of a filter resistor Rf and a filter capacitor Cf is introduced to solve these two problems.
[0055] In an optional embodiment, the time constant formed by the resistor Rf and the capacitor Cf is greater than a preset time length, and the preset time length is the input time length of the first voltage or the second voltage.
[0056] Furthermore, the resistance value of Rf is much greater than the resistance value of Rt, so that the time constant formed by the resistor Rf and the capacitor Cf is greater than a preset time length.
[0057] It should be noted here that when the voltage between the first input port and the second input port of the differential circuit is the first voltage, it can be regarded as a signal that the differential circuit input is "1"; when the voltage between the first input port and the second input port of the differential circuit is the first voltage, it can be regarded as a signal that the differential circuit input is "0"; therefore, when the differential circuit input is continuously "1" or "continuously 0", it can be regarded as inputting the first voltage or the second voltage between the first input port and the second input port of the differential circuit, and continuing for a period of time, and the time is the length of the continuous "1" or the continuous "0". For example, the duration corresponding to a "0" signal or a "1" signal is 0.1ns. When the differential circuit continuously inputs N1 "1" signals, it means that the first voltage is input between the first input port and the second input port of the differential circuit and lasts for N1*0.1ns; when the differential circuit continuously inputs N2 "0" signals, it means that the second voltage is input between the first input port and the second input port of the differential circuit and lasts for N2*0.1ns. Among them, the multiple "1" signals or multiple "0" signals input by the differential circuit are related to the input high-speed data code protocol.
[0058] The first voltage is a high level, and the second voltage is a low level, for example, the first voltage is 0.4V, and the second voltage is -0.4V.
[0059] When there is no signal input to the differential circuit, assuming that the output stage differential pair works symmetrically, the current IQ0 between the collector and emitter of transistor Q0 and the current IQ1 between the collector and emitter of transistor Q1 are both 0.5*Imod. At this time, the current Ivcsel on the laser diode is Ibias-0.5*Imod; when the input is a "1" signal, IQ1=0, transistor Q1 is in the off state, and the current Ivcsel on the laser diode is Ibias; when the input is a "0" signal, IQ1=1, transistor Q1 is in the on state, and the current Ivcsel on the laser diode is Ibias-Imod.
[0060] From the above, it can be known that the current Ivcsel on the laser diode can be related to the bias current Ibias. Therefore, the size of Ibias can be changed by adjusting the size of the reference voltage source Vref, thereby adjusting the current Ivcsel on the laser diode to meet the current requirements of different laser diodes.
[0061] It can be seen that the present application detects the voltage across the output matching resistor of the laser diode driving circuit, compares it with the voltage output by the reference voltage source, and then feedback controls the output stage voltage source of the driving circuit. At this time, the output impedance is low resistance and will not affect the bandwidth of the output stage circuit. At the same time, since the output impedance matches the characteristic impedance of the transmission line and the AC impedance of the VCSEL, the phenomenon of optical eye diagram distortion can be avoided.

[0064] When the feedback loop formed by the operational amplifier, the PMOS transistor M0, the resistor Rt, the reference voltage source Vref, the filter resistor Rf and the filter capacitor Cf is stable, the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier is equal to the voltage at the inverting input terminal;
[0065] When the voltage between the first input port and the second input port of the differential circuit is the first voltage, the current Ivcsel on the laser diode is equal to Ibias.
[0066] When the voltage between the first input port and the second input port of the differential circuit is the second voltage, the current Ivcsel on the laser diode is equal to Ibias-Imod;
[0067] Wherein, the first voltage is greater than the second voltage, Ibias=Vref / Rt, Imod is the output current of the modulated current source, the regulating current source Idac is a current source with adjustable output current and / or the resistor Rdac is a resistor with adjustable resistance. In other words, the magnitude of the current Ibias is controlled by adjusting the current source Idac, or by adjusting the resistor Rdac, or by adjusting the current source Idac and the resistor Rdac.
[0068] Depend on Figure 3It can be seen from the embodiment shown that the current Ivcsel of the laser diode can be adjusted by adjusting the output voltage of the reference voltage source Vref. Figure 4 In the figure, the function of the reference voltage source Vref is realized by the resistor Rdac and the adjustable current source Idac. Vref=Idac*Rdac=Ibias*Rt, so, Ibias=Idac*Rdac / Rt.
