Description

A kind of TEC start-up circuit of Electroabsorption Modulated Laser
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of Electroabsorption Modulated Laser EML (Electro-absorption Modulated Laser), particularly relate to a kind of TEC start-up circuit of Electroabsorption Modulated Laser.
Background technology
In the long range propagation of SFP+ (Enhanced Small Form Factor Pluggable Module), XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable Module) module, need to use Electroabsorption Modulated Laser to meet long range propagation performance.Fluctuation due to the output wavelength of EML laser, current threshold, peak power output and minimum power all can be subject to the working temperature impact of laser, so EML laser inside is all integrated with the thermistor NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) of a thermoelectric refrigerating unit TEC (Thermo Electric Cooler) and a high accuracy negative temperature coefficient, ensure that laser works is on stable working temperature point by closed feedback loop circuit, thus ensure the transmission performance of laser.The TEC start-up circuit of Electroabsorption Modulated Laser as shown in Figure 1, comprise laser 30, the TEC closed-loop feedback circuit 40 that power circuit 10, TEC control circuit 20, is integrated with a TEC and a thermistor NTC, wherein, TEC control circuit 20, comprise: first and second DC-DC circuit 21,22, two circuit shunts are connected with TEC-and TEC+ two pins of integrated thermal electric refrigerator TEC31 in laser 30 through first, second filter circuit filtering output end.Its operation principle: power circuit 10 provides the operating voltage of 3.3V for TEC control circuit 20, first and second DC-DC circuit 21,22 TEC-and TEC+ two pins respectively for the thermoelectric refrigerating unit TEC31 in laser 30 after first, second filter circuit filtering provide different voltage respectively, make thermoelectric refrigerating unit TEC produce forward or reverse electric current, thermoelectric refrigerating unit TEC31 is that laser 30 heats or freezes according to the sense of current again.When the working temperature of laser 30 is higher, the resistance of the NTC resistance 32 of laser 30 inside will diminish, TEC closed-loop feedback circuit 40 provides a voltage to become large signal to the closed control circuit 23 of TEC control circuit 20 inside thus, this circuit makes the voltage of voltage ratio first DC-DC circuit 21 of the second DC-DC circuit 22 high, the sense of current of the inner TEC of flowing through laser 30 is made to flow to TEC-by TEC+, the TEC31 of the inside of laser 30 can force the working temperature of laser 30 to decline, and keeps the working temperature of laser 30 to stablize.Otherwise, when the working temperature of laser 30 is on the low side, the resistance of the NTC resistance 32 of laser 30 inside will become large, so the signal that TEC closed-loop feedback circuit 40 provides a voltage to diminish is to the closed control circuit 23 of TEC control circuit 20 inside, the closed control circuit 23 of TEC control circuit 20 inside makes the voltage of voltage ratio first DC-DC circuit 21 of the second DC-DC circuit 22 of TEC control circuit 20 inside low, the sense of current of the inner TEC31 of flowing through laser 30 is made to flow to TEC+ by TEC-, the TEC31 of the inside of laser 30 can force the working temperature of laser 30 to raise, the working temperature of laser 30 is kept to stablize.
The reference power source V_Ref of TEC control circuit 20 inside is through resistance R1, resistance R2 and resistance R3, resistance R4 dividing potential drop respectively; output current-limiting circuit 24 and the output of limiting voltage circuit 25 of TEC control circuit 20 inside is supplied to respectively after dividing potential drop; for setting maximum output current and the maximum output voltage of TEC control circuit 20; the current detection circuit of TEC control circuit 20 inside and voltage monitoring circuit ensure to make the TEC31 of laser 30 inside be operated in safe voltage and current, to protect the TEC31 of laser 30 inside not damaged.
Because the first DC-DC circuit 21 of TEC control circuit 20 inside and the second DC-DC circuit 22 are the direct-current switch power supply circuit belonging to hard switching, and load is again the TEC31 that D.C. resistance only has several ohm, and these circuit of inside also need some times to setting up a stable state from power on, such powered on moment is carried on the TEC31 of laser 30 inside with regard to there being the larger voltage difference of generation one, and the DC resistance of TEC31 is smaller, so the electric current flowed through on TEC31 will increase a lot instantaneously, module is caused to produce very large surge current when powered on moment, serious in the requirement of SFP+ and XFP module performance.At present, generally adopt high-performance TEC control circuit 20 chip in the industry---U.S. of u s company letter MAX8520/MAX8521 chip, by taking the artificial settings of the output current circuit 24 of TEC control circuit 20 inside and output of limiting voltage circuit 25 are all diminished, the output voltage of TEC control circuit 20 and electric current are all reduced, still can not the surge current that produces of suppression module powered on moment.
