Optical engines and optical cable assemblies having electrical signal conditioning
Optical engines and optical cable assemblies incorporating optical engines providing duty cycle correction on multiplexed low-speed signals are disclosed. In one embodiment, an optical engine includes a low-speed Tx line, a low-speed Rx line, an optical transceiver device, and a control circuit. A low-speed Tx signal is transmitted on the low-speed Tx line and a low-speed Rx signal is received on the low-speed Rx line. The optical transceiver device further includes a laser control pin operable to control a laser configured to provide light on an optical Tx lane, and an optical detect pin operable to provide an indication as to light detected at an optical Rx lane. A Tx signal conditioning circuit configured to condition the low-speed Tx signal is coupled to the laser control pin, and/or a Rx signal conditioning circuit configured to condition the low-speed Rx signal is coupled to the optical detect pin.
