A TIA comprises a TIA core that converts a current signal to a voltage signal, a single-to-differential converter that generates a differential voltage signal from the voltage signal, a feedback circuit that generates a control signal from the differential voltage signal, a bypass circuit that generates the current signal by subtracting the bypass current from the input current so that an average value of the current signal is maintained at a predetermined value, and a monitor circuit that generates a monitor current proportional to the bypass current from the control signal.

A burst-signal reception circuit that receives a differential signal of a burst signal input via a preamplifier. The burst-signal reception circuit includes a differential amplifier to which the differential signal is input via capacitors, an average detection circuit that detects an average of a differential input signal to the differential amplifier, and a differential-offset cancel circuit that operates to cancel a DC voltage level difference of the differential input signal on the basis of output signals of the average detection circuit. Average detection speed of the average detection circuit is configured to be switched according to presence or absence of burst signal reception. The average detection speed is switched to a high-speed side in a head portion of the burst signal and switched to a low-speed side in portions other than the head portion.

The present disclosure is directed to a light-signal communication receiver device including a photo-receiving diode configured to generate a current signal on a first node from a received light signal, a preamplifier configured to convert the current signal on the first node into a voltage signal on a second node, and a differential amplifier including a first input connected to the first node and a second input connected to a third node coupled to the second node via an adjustment circuit. The adjustment circuit is configured to offset the level of the voltage signal of the second node, on the third node, in a controlled manner by a control signal.

A system may include a recovery circuit that may: receive a first detect signal for a first burst signal and a second detect signal for a second burst signal in a burst mode data path; receive a reference pattern signal from a continuous mode data path; generate a first lock signal locked to the first burst signal or locked to the reference pattern signal, and a second lock signal locked to the second burst signal; and output the reference pattern signal from the recovery circuit during a guard period. The frequency of the recovery circuit may be locked to the frequency of the reference pattern signal during the guard period. The guard period may start based on when the first detect signal de-asserts or when the first lock signal de-asserts. During the guard period, the recovery circuit does not output the first burst signal or the second burst signal.

An optical receiving apparatus includes a decoupler, a voltage regulator, an optical-to-electrical converter, and an amplifier. The decoupler receives a first electrical signal, and performs direct current removal processing on the first electrical signal thereby obtaining a second electrical signal. The first electrical signal includes control information to control a working state of the amplifier. The electrical signal is a pulse signal and includes the control information. The voltage regulator receives the first electrical signal, and performs voltage regulation processing on the first electrical signal thereby obtaining a third electrical signal that has a constant amplitude and provides a voltage for the amplifier. The optical-to-electrical converter receives a burst optical signal, and converts the burst optical signal into a fourth electrical signal. The amplifier amplifies the fourth electrical signal based on the control information and a power supply of the third electrical signal, and outputs an amplified fourth electrical signal.
