Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to optical module technical field, especially point to a kind of low-noise power supply circuit for optical module. BACKGROUND

[0002] Optical module is photoelectric conversion and electro-optical conversion optoelectronic device, according to the protocol and specification of optical module, the total power input of optical module is generally 3.3V voltage, and 3.3V voltage needs to be converted into multiple different power supply voltages of different level in optical module to power supply different subsystems in optical module, such as 0.65V, 0.94V, 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 4V, 5V voltage.

[0003] To realize the voltage conversion of different levels, multiple different power conversion chips will be used in optical module, and a part of subsystems have high requirements for voltage stability and power supply noise (power supply ripple), such as DSP power supply circuit, clock source, reference level loop, etc., especially with the rate of optical module improving to 400G&800G&1.6T, the requirement for power supply noise is more strict, and multiple subsystems require power supply ripple to be controlled below 1mV, and conventional boost (BOOST) power chip or buck (DC-DC) power chip cannot meet the power supply ripple requirement, so a low-noise power chip such as LDO needs to be used after power conversion chip to adjust voltage and control ripple, so as to ensure that power supply ripple meets the design requirement.

[0004] The low-noise power supply circuit for optical module is generally divided into the following two power supply circuits: circuit one is a power supply circuit with low-noise requirement and greater than 3.3V, and circuit two is a power supply circuit with low-noise requirement and less than 3.3V. Circuit one is composed of a first boost module (refer to Figure 3 ) and a first buck module (refer to Figure 4 ); circuit two is composed of a second buck module (refer to Figure 5 ) and a third buck module (refer to Figure 6 ).

[0005] The working principle of circuit one from 3.3V to 4V is as follows: by adjusting the resistance value of resistor R12 and resistor R13, 3.3V power supply is boosted to 5V in combination with power chip U11 (BOOST chip); by adjusting the resistance value of resistor R15 and resistor R16, 5V power supply is reduced to 4V in combination with power chip U12 (LDO chip). VCC5V_EN and VCC4V_EN are used as upper computer control signals to control the enablement of power chip U11 and power chip U12 to work.

[0006] The working principle of the loop two from 3.3V to 1.2V is as follows: 3.3V power supply is reduced to 1.8V by adjusting the resistance values of resistors R18 and R19 and combining the power chip U21 (DC-DC chip); 1.8V power supply is reduced to 1.2V by adjusting the resistance values of resistors R21 and R2 and combining the power chip U22 (LDO chip). VCC1V8_EN and VCC1V2_EN are used as upper computer control signals for controlling the power chips U21 and U22 to work.

[0007] The traditional low-noise power supply circuit has the following disadvantages: 1. Different power chips are needed to perform step-up or step-down processing for step-up and step-down requirements, the step-up and step-down circuits are not compatible, the number of chip materials is increased, and thus the circuit cost is increased; 2. The power chips of the primary power supply (the first step-up module and the second step-down module) and the secondary power supply (the first step-down module and the third step-down module) need to be controlled respectively, in order to maintain the stable operation of the circuit, the output voltage of the first stage power supply needs to have sufficient margin, which will cause the voltage difference of the LDO chip of the secondary power supply to increase; since the working principle of the LDO chip is to keep the input and output currents the same, the LDO chip is controlled to work through the internal MOS tube, so as to achieve the goal of stable voltage drop and low noise, therefore, the energy loss caused by the voltage difference between the output end and the input end of the LDO chip in the loop will be all the heat dissipation of the LDO chip, which will cause the LDO chip to generate more heat; 3. The power chips of the primary power supply and the secondary power supply need to be controlled independently, and the EN signals output by the upper computer are needed for controlling the power chips to work, that is, a large number of IO resources are occupied, and the circuit cost is increased.

[0008] Therefore, how to provide a low-noise power supply circuit for an optical module to reduce the power consumption and cost of the low-noise power supply circuit has become a technical problem to be solved. SUMMARY
