Description

Transimpedance amplifier integrating automatic reset and rapid burst response
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit technology and optical communication, in particular to a transimpedance amplifier integrating automatic reset and rapid burst response.
Background
In an optical access network, downlink traffic data (traffic data transmitted from an OLT to an ONU) is transmitted in a broadcast form, and uplink traffic data (traffic data transmitted from an ONU to an OLT) is transmitted in a time division multiplex burst. In order to increase the effective data amount in the upstream burst data packet, the burst response time of an optical receiving component on the OLT side is usually required to be reduced to several hundred ns, but the current commercial trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) cannot meet the burst response time requirement even if working independently without coordination of an external control signal, and the problems of mutual influence of upstream signals of different ONUs and data transmission failure are easily caused. To address this problem, in the related art, an internal MCU provides a RESET signal to a transimpedance amplifier inside a burst mode optical receiving component and a burst mode limiting amplifier and CDR (Clock and Data recovery, clock and Data restorer) on a PCB of an OLT optical module, and before each burst signal packet arrives, the RESET signal is sent to allow the transimpedance amplifier to complete a RESET operation quickly. But this solution increases the complexity of the operation of the OLT optical module to some extent.
In order to reduce the complexity and cost of system implementation, in other technologies, the uplink service transmission adopts a time division multiplexing burst mode, that is, different ONU uplink data are respectively allocated in different complementary overlapping time periods in the time domain to perform uplink service data transmission. This requires that the OLT optical module internal upstream signal receiving channel link (including optical receiving components, limiting amplifiers and CDRs, etc.) must have fast burst response capability and correctly receive the upstream traffic data sent by the different ONUs. An OLT optical module product in the related art generates a matched RESET signal through an internal MCU according to a time slot interval allocated by a system to each subordinate ONU, and outputs the RESET signal to each component and chip (including an optical receiving component, a limiting amplifier, a CDR, and the like) on an uplink signal receiving channel link, and controls a gap (guard time) between uplink data packets of the ONU by each component and chip on the uplink signal receiving channel link to quickly complete a RESET operation and a fast response burst signal. However, in the scheme, the difficulty and the realizability of the conventional trans-impedance amplifier, limiting amplifier, CDR and other chips for realizing self rapid burst response need to be considered, and the complexity and the difficulty of the operation of the OLT optical module are increased to a certain extent.
