Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical communication technology, and in particular to a low-temperature wavelength control circuit and an optical module. Background Art

[0002] Compared with DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system, CWDM (Coarse wavelength division multiplexing) system has a wider wavelength interval, and the industry's standard wavelength interval is 20nm. For the working center wavelength of the optical module, the wavelength offset within the working temperature range is within ±6.5nm, and the wavelength of the common DFB (Distributed Feedback Laser) laser has a temperature offset of 0.09 to 0.1nm / ℃. Due to the technical bottleneck of InP (Indium Phosphide) laser, the wavelength requirements for commercial-grade environment applications can be met, but when used in industrial environments, because the low-temperature wavelength will exceed the ±6.5nm range, it is necessary to add a laser heating function.

[0003] At present, there are two common solutions. One is to use TEC (Thermal Electronic Cooler) to control the wavelength, but the circuit is relatively complex, the laser packaging process is complicated, and the cost is more than twice the original. It is difficult to use in batches in cost-sensitive applications; the other is to use a heating resistor. Although this solution is low-cost and easy to implement, the common use of MOS tubes or triodes as current amplification drive circuits has the following defects:

[0004] (1) The amplification drive circuit composed of MOS tubes or triodes is essentially an LDO power supply design with a conversion efficiency of only 20% to 60%. The conversion efficiency is low and there is a large power dissipation.

[0005] (2) Since the internal reference voltage of the MCU is 2.4V, the DAC can only output 2.4V at most. The common simple driving circuit design is that one end of the transistor or MOS tube is connected to Vcc and the other end is connected to the heating resistor. Here, the turn-on voltage of some MOS tubes or transistors is too low, resulting in the inability to shut down the driving circuit. The heating function keeps working, which will seriously affect the reliability of the product;

[0006] (3) When using DAC to directly drive MOS tubes or transistors, there is no reference voltage, and the circuit stability deviation is prone to critical conduction oscillation problems, causing power supply voltage fluctuations, which may cause abnormal conditions such as MCU reset.

[0007] Therefore, how to improve the existing low-temperature wavelength control scheme to overcome the above-mentioned defects, or to provide a new low-temperature wavelength control technology to increase its applicability, has become one of the important research topics for technicians in this field.

[0008] The above information is provided as background information only to assist with understanding the present disclosure. No determination or admission is made as to whether any of the above may be used as prior art with respect to the present disclosure. Summary of the invention

After continuous research and design, and repeated trial production and improvement, the present invention with real practical value was finally created.

[0065] Please refer to Figures 1-2 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a low-temperature wavelength control circuit including an electrical interface unit J1, an MCU circuit U2, a DML driving circuit U1, a DCDC circuit U3 and a transmitting component J2; wherein,

[0066] The DCDC circuit U3 is connected to the MCU circuit U2 and the transmitting component J2 respectively;

[0073] It should be noted that the MCU circuit U2 reads the information of the electrical interface unit J1 through the Slave IIC (S_IIC), and uses the Master IIC (M_IIC) to configure and read the registers of the DML driving circuit U1; the internal CDR of the DML driving circuit U1 is powered by 1.8V, and the use of the DCDC circuit U3 can effectively reduce the overall power consumption of the chip and ensure high-speed signal transmission.

[0074] In addition, the high-speed differential line output driver adopts DC coupling, which saves more power than AC coupling. The LD positive voltage of the transmitting component J2 (laser) is provided by the internal DCDC Buck-Boost conversion circuit output of the DML drive circuit U1 to provide bias current and forward voltage, and the LD positive voltage is automatically adjusted to keep the LD negative terminal voltage constant.

[0075] In this embodiment, the transmitting component J2 includes a laser diode LD, a photodetection diode PD and a heating resistor Rt;

[0076] The positive electrode (LD+) and the negative electrode (LD-) of the laser diode LD are both connected to the DML driving circuit U1;

[0079] In this embodiment, the TD+ pin of the electrical interface unit J1 is connected to the TDIP pin of the DML driving circuit U1;

[0080] The TD- pin of the electrical interface unit J1 is connected to the TDIN pin of the DML driving circuit U1;

[0081] The VCCT pin of the electrical interface unit J1 is respectively connected to the VCC33 pin of the DML driving circuit U1, the SCL_M pin of the MCU circuit U2, the SDA_M pin of the MCU circuit U2, and the VIN pin of the DCDC circuit U3;

[0082] The TX_Disable pin of the electrical interface unit J1 is connected to the TX_DIS pin of the MCU circuit U2 and the TXDIS pin of the DML driving circuit U1 respectively;

[0083] The SDA pin of the electrical interface unit J1 is connected to the SDA pin of the MCU circuit U2;

[0086] The SDA pin of the DML driving circuit U1 is connected to the SDA_M pin of the MCU circuit U2;

[0087] The LI pin of the DML driving circuit U1 is connected to the LO pin of the DML driving circuit U1 through the first inductor L1;

[0088] The PMSVCC pin of the DML driving circuit U1 is grounded via a first capacitor C1;

[0089] The SVCC pin of the DML driving circuit U1 is connected between the PMSVCC pin of the DML driving circuit U1 and the first capacitor C1;

[0090] The OUTK pin of the DML driving circuit U1 is connected to the cathode (LD-) of the laser diode LD;

[0091] The OUTA pin of the DML driving circuit U1 is connected to the positive electrode (LD+) of the laser diode LD;

[0092] The VCCTA pin of the DML driving circuit U1 is connected between the OUTA pin of the DML driving circuit U1 and the positive electrode (LD+) of the laser diode LD through an anti-interference device;

[0093] The VCCTK pin of the DML driving circuit U1 is connected between the VCCTA pin of the DML driving circuit U1 and the anti-interference device through a second capacitor C2;

[0094] The MDIN pin of the DML driving circuit U1 is connected to the cathode (PD-) of the photodetection diode PD.

[0095] It should be noted that the first inductor L1 and the first capacitor C1 are necessary components of the internal DCDCBuck-Boost conversion circuit of the DML driving circuit U1. Specifically, the first inductor L1 is an energy storage inductor, and the first capacitor C1 is a decoupling filter capacitor.

[0096] The anti-interference device is a bias current filter network, which also isolates high-frequency signal transmission. The second capacitor C2 provides impedance matching for the internal differential drive output circuit. The MDIN pin of the DML drive circuit U1 provides a forward bias for the PD of the transmitting component J2.

[0097] Preferably, the anti-interference component is a ferrite bead FB1.

[0098] In this embodiment, the EN pin of the MCU circuit U2 is connected to the EN pin of the DCDC circuit U3;

[0099] The Temp_DAC pin of the MCU circuit U2 is connected to the FB pin of the DCDC circuit U3 through a first resistor R1.

[0100] In this embodiment, the LX pin of the DCDC circuit U3 is connected to the heating resistor Rt through the second inductor L2;

[0101] The GND pin of the DCDC circuit U3 is grounded;

[0102] The FPWM pin of the DCDC circuit U3 is connected between the VIN pin of the DCDC circuit U3 and the VCCT pin of the electrical interface unit J1 .

[0103] Preferably, the low temperature wavelength control circuit further includes a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a third capacitor C3 and a fourth capacitor C4;

[0104] One end of the second resistor R2 is connected between the FB pin of the DCDC circuit U3 and the first resistor R1, and the other end of the second resistor R2 is grounded;

[0105] One end of the third resistor R3 is connected between the FB pin of the DCDC circuit U3 and the first resistor R1, and the other end of the third resistor R3 is connected between the LX pin of the DCDC circuit U3 and the heating resistor Rt;

[0106] One end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected between the EN pin of the DCDC circuit U3 and the EN pin of the MCU circuit U2, and the other end of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded;

[0107] One end of the third capacitor C3 is connected between the VIN pin of the DCDC circuit U3 and the VCCT pin of the electrical interface unit J1, and the other end of the third capacitor C3 is grounded;

[0108] One end of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected between the LX pin of the DCDC circuit U3 and the heating resistor Rt, and the other end of the fourth capacitor C4 is grounded.

[0109] Preferably, the low temperature wavelength control circuit further includes a fifth resistor R5 and a sixth resistor R6;

[0110] The fifth resistor R5 is connected in series between the VCCT pin of the electrical interface unit J1 and the SDA_M pin of the MCU circuit U2;

[0111] The sixth resistor R6 is connected in series between the VCCT pin of the electrical interface unit J1 and the SCL_M pin of the MCU circuit U2.

[0112] It should be noted that in the design of the DCDC circuit, the enable pin and the voltage regulation function pin are separated, and the circuit stability is better due to the internal reference voltage. The MCU circuit U2 controls the enable output of the DCDC circuit through the IO port (EN pin), and the fourth resistor R4 enables the DCDC circuit to always be in the off state during the power-on and initialization process of the MCU circuit U2; the third capacitor C3 and the fourth capacitor C4 are the necessary filter capacitors of the DCDC circuit U3, the second inductor L2 is the energy storage inductor, and the voltage negative feedback pin (FB pin) of the DCDC circuit U3 samples the resistance voltage of the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, and the third resistor R3, and compares it with the internal reference voltage Vref to dynamically adjust the PWM duty cycle and change the amount of voltage reduction; when the duty cycle is smaller, the voltage drops lower, and the output minimum voltage is close to the internal reference voltage (Vmin=Vref). When the duty cycle is 1, the output maximum voltage is close to the input power supply voltage (Vmax=Vin).

[0113] The output voltage calculation formula is as follows: (FB pin is high impedance input)

[0114]

[0115] It can be seen from the above formula that when the VDAC of the MCU circuit U2 is 0V, the output voltage of the DCDC circuit U3 is the minimum, and when the VDAC of the MCU is 2.4V, the output voltage of the DCDC circuit U3 is the maximum.

[0116] In the internal design of the transmitting component J2, the heating resistor is a thin film resistor, and the patch position on the tube holder is as close to the LD position as possible to achieve a better heating effect. One end of the functional connection is connected to the tube holder, and the other end is led out to the tube holder PIN pin.

[0117] The present invention adopts a switch-type DCDC voltage-stabilized power supply design to replace the LDO linear voltage-stabilized power supply. The internal MOS tube only works in the switch state, which avoids the triode or MOS tube working in the amplification area and generating large power consumption. The power conversion efficiency is above 90%, which can effectively reduce the power dissipation of the driving circuit.

[0118] Since the adjustable DCDC circuit U3 is selected to drive the heating resistor Rt, the dynamic range of the output voltage is Vref≤Vout≤Vcc, so temperature compensation can be performed according to the deviation of the low-temperature wavelength, thereby dynamically saving power consumption.

[0119] The DAC output voltage of the MCU circuit U2 is fed back and compared with the Vref reference voltage of the internal operational amplifier to adjust the duty cycle through a resistor voltage divider. It does not simply use the DAC to directly drive the conduction degree of the amplifier tube. There will be no critical conduction oscillation problem, and the circuit operation is more stable.

[0120] Although the terms such as electrical interface unit, MCU circuit, DML driving circuit, DCDC circuit and transmitting component are used more frequently in this article, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present invention; interpreting them as any additional restrictions is contrary to the spirit of the present invention.

[0121] A low-temperature wavelength control circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention can drive the heating resistor in the transmitting component to perform corresponding temperature compensation by adopting an adjustable DCDC circuit to output a corresponding voltage to the transmitting component. The power conversion efficiency is above 90%, which can effectively reduce the power dissipation of the driving circuit. At the same time, the circuit has better stability and higher wavelength control accuracy, and has a high value for promotion and application.
