Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical fiber communication technology, and in particular to a high-compatibility optical power sampling monitoring circuit and method. Background Art

[0002] PD (Photo-Diode) is mainly used in optical modules to monitor the size of the transmitted optical power, realize the APC (Automatic Optical Power Control) function and provide the DDMI (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring Interface) of the transmitted optical power. Among them, the APC function maintains the stability of the transmitted optical power by setting the target monitoring current, and then dynamically adjusts the bias current of the LD (Laser Diode) according to the backlight current of the PD obtained by sampling to control the light emission size, so that the sampling current is close to the target monitoring current. The transmitted optical power monitoring is to read the size of the driver chip (driver) ADC value through the MCU (Micro Controller Unit) through the IIC (Inter-Integrated Circuit), and then update and store it in the corresponding protocol area in real time after conversion by the MCU.

[0003] At present, in the application of optical modules, firstly, different device manufacturers have different definitions of PD pins. There are two common wiring methods, one of which is to connect the PD anode to GND, and the other is to connect the PD cathode to GND. Different circuit designs are required to drive, resulting in repeated board making, which greatly increases product development costs. Secondly, although the driver chips provided by most manufacturers support both Sink and Source current sampling modes, there are still a few manufacturers whose driver chips only support Sink current sampling mode, and the common design is to achieve optical power monitoring through ADC voltage sampling.

[0043] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a high-compatibility optical power sampling and monitoring circuit, including a controller, a driver, a laser, a PNP tube mirror circuit, an NPN tube mirror circuit, a first resistor, a second resistor, a third resistor, a fourth resistor, a fifth resistor and a sixth resistor;

[0046] The controller is connected to the first end of the driver;

[0047] The second end of the driver is connected to the first end of the laser through the fourth resistor, the third end of the driver is connected to the second end of the laser, and the fourth end of the driver is connected to the first end of the PNP tube mirror circuit through the first resistor;

[0048] The second end of the PNP tube mirror circuit is connected to the third end of the laser through the fifth resistor;

[0049] The first end of the NPN tube mirror circuit is connected between the driver and the PNP tube mirror circuit through the second resistor, and is connected between the PNP tube mirror circuit and the laser through the third resistor; the second end of the NPN tube mirror circuit is connected to the third end of the laser through the sixth resistor.

[0050] Wherein, the controller and the driver are connected via an I2C bus.

[0051] The driver includes a laser diode and a photodiode;

[0052] One end of the photodiode is grounded, and the other end is connected to the fifth resistor and the sixth resistor respectively;

[0053] The cathode of the laser diode is connected between the photodiode and the ground, and the anode of the laser diode is connected to the driver.

[0054] It should be noted that one of the functions of the present invention, namely the optical power monitoring function, is realized by the controller (referring to MCU, i.e. Figure 2 U4 in the figure) configures the driver (referring to Driver, i.e. Figure 2 The output bias current is controlled by the U3 register in the laser (J1) to drive the laser (J1) to emit light. The optical power is sampled by the photodiode (PD, specifically the backlight photodiode in this embodiment, MPD for short) and input to the driver's ADC. Then the MCU reads the driver's ADC register in real time through I2C, and stores it in the protocol storage address after conversion. When the transmitter is working normally, the test value of the optical power meter is Po, with K as a fixed coefficient that takes into account all other factors such as the backlight current conversion efficiency. Then the optical power is P O =I monitor K;

[0055] The optical transmitter manufacturer can obtain the K value through software calibration once during production. After the system is networked, there is no need to cut off the optical path for measurement to monitor the optical power in real time.

[0056] Another function is to constitute the APC function. The stability of the emitted light power is maintained by setting the target monitoring current. According to the backlight current of the sampled PD, the laser diode (LD) bias current is dynamically adjusted to control the light emission size, so that the sampling current is close to the target monitoring current.

[0057] Since the I2C drain is open-circuited, preferably, the high-compatibility optical power sampling and monitoring circuit must be provided with two pull-up resistors for realizing level inversion, which are the seventh resistor (R7) and the eighth resistor (R8);

[0058] A first end of the seventh resistor is connected to a serial clock line in the I2C bus, and a second end thereof is connected to a positive power supply voltage referenced to GND;

[0059] A first end of the eighth resistor is connected to a serial data line in the I2C bus, and a second end of the eighth resistor is connected to a positive power supply voltage referenced to GND.

[0060] In this embodiment, the PNP tube mirror circuit (i.e. Figure 2 U1) in the embodiment includes a first PNP transistor and a second PNP transistor;

[0061] The emitter of the first PNP tube and the emitter of the second PNP tube are connected in parallel and then connected to the positive electrode of the power supply;

[0062] The collector and base of the first PNP tube are respectively connected to the fifth resistor;

[0063] The collector of the second PNP tube is connected to the second resistor, and the base of the second PNP tube is connected to the fifth resistor.

[0064] The first PNP transistor and the second PNP transistor have the same characteristics.

[0065] In this embodiment, the NPN tube mirror circuit (i.e. Figure 2 U2) includes a first NPN tube and a second NPN tube;

[0066] The emitter of the first NPN tube and the emitter of the second NPN tube are connected in parallel and then connected to a negative voltage conversion circuit; the negative voltage conversion circuit is used to generate a negative power supply voltage (i.e., generate a negative power supply voltage such as Figure 2 The -Vcc voltage in the negative voltage conversion circuit Figure 2 Not shown); specifically, the positive voltage is converted into a negative voltage through a charge pump chip; the potential of the positive pole of the DC power supply is high, and the potential of the negative pole is low, and the current flows from the high potential to the low potential; the positive and negative power supplies are relative values, generally with the earth as the 0 point reference, the potential above this point is positive, and below this point is negative.

[0067] The collector of the first NPN transistor is connected to the third resistor, and the base of the first NPN transistor is connected to the sixth resistor;

[0068] The collector and the base of the second NPN tube are respectively connected to the sixth resistor.

[0069] The first NPN transistor and the second NPN transistor have the same characteristics.

[0070] The monitoring circuit design provided by the present invention first outputs through the NPN negative voltage pair tube mirror image, and then outputs through the PNP pair tube mirror image. It needs to go through two mirror images to achieve the purpose of changing the current direction. The specific principle is described as follows:

[0071] (1) When the PD anode is connected to GND and the cathode is used as the lead-out pin, it is input to the driver sampling ADC through the current mirror Sink. At this time, the circuit configuration is that the second resistor (R2), the third resistor (R3), the fourth resistor (R4) and the sixth resistor (R6) are disconnected, and the PNP tube mirror circuit works, supporting the driver current sampling Sink mode.

[0072] The circuit principle analysis and calculation are as follows:

[0073] Since the two PNP tubes (the first PNP tube and the second PNP tube) have the same characteristics, the voltage drop U EBO and U ECOThe first PNP tube always works in the amplification region. EBO Equal, so the base current and collector current of the first PNP tube and the second PNP tube are equal.

[0074]

[0075] When β>>2, I monitor =I MPD =I C .

[0076] (2) When the anode of the PD is connected to GND and the cathode is used as the lead-out pin, if the driver supports the Source current mode, the bias voltage can be directly provided to the PD. At this time, the peripheral circuit is the simplest. The circuit configuration is that the first resistor (R1), the second resistor (R2), the third resistor (R3), the fifth resistor (R5) and the sixth resistor (R6) are disconnected, and the mPD is directly driven through the driver current Source mode;

[0077] (3) When the cathode of the PD is connected to GND and the anode is used as the lead pin, a negative bias voltage needs to be provided to enable the PD to work normally. If the driver supports Source output current ADC sampling, the circuit configuration is that the first resistor (R1), the third resistor (R3), the fourth resistor (R4) and the fifth resistor (R5) are disconnected, and the negative voltage NPN tube mirror circuit works, supporting the driver current sampling Source mode;

[0078] The circuit principle analysis and calculation are as follows:

[0079] Since the two NPN tubes (the first NPN tube and the second NPN tube) have the same characteristics, the voltage drop U EBO and U ECO The first NPN tube always works in the amplification region. EBO Equal, so the base current and collector current of the first NPN tube and the second NPN tube are equal.

[0080]

[0081] When β>>2, I monitor =I MPD =I C .

[0082] (3) When the cathode of the PD is connected to GND and the anode is used as the lead pin, a negative bias voltage needs to be provided to enable the PD to work normally. If the driver supports Sink input current ADC sampling, the second resistor (R2), the fourth resistor (R4) and the fifth resistor (R5) are disconnected, the negative voltage NPN tube mirror circuit and the PNP tube mirror circuit work, and the driver current sampling Sink mode is supported.

[0083] An embodiment of the present invention provides a highly compatible optical power sampling and monitoring circuit with a simple circuit design structure. It takes into account the functional matching of different laser pin modes and drivers, realizes current sampling solutions in different modes, does not require repeated board making, increases the compatibility of product development platforms, and reduces product development costs.

[0088] S203, when the anode of the photodiode is grounded and the driver is in Source current sampling mode, the first resistor, the second resistor, the third resistor, the fifth resistor and the sixth resistor are disconnected, and the mPD is directly driven by the Source current sampling mode of the driver;

[0089] S204, when the cathode of the photodiode is grounded and the driver is in Source current sampling mode, the first resistor, the third resistor, the fourth resistor and the fifth resistor are disconnected, and the NPN tube mirror circuit works to support the Source current sampling mode of the driver;

[0090] S205. When the cathode of the photodiode is grounded and the driver is in the Sink current sampling mode, the second resistor, the fourth resistor and the fifth resistor are disconnected, and the NPN tube mirror circuit works to support the Sink current sampling mode of the driver.
