Therefore, when the circuit board is provided with three independent chips, namely, the MCU, the laser driver chip and the limiting amplifier chip, the scheme is equivalent to that when the circuit board 300 is provided with a single chip with three functions in one.
The surface of the end part of the circuit board 300 is provided with a golden finger, the golden finger consists of one pin which is mutually independent, the circuit board is inserted into an electric connector in the cage, and the golden finger is in conductive connection with a clamping elastic sheet in the electric connector; the golden fingers can be arranged on the surface of one side of the circuit board, and the golden fingers are generally arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface of the circuit board in consideration of the large requirement on the number of pins; the golden finger is used for establishing electrical connection with the upper computer, and the specific electrical connection can be power supply, grounding, I2C signals, communication data signals and the like.
