Abstract:
1. A transmission mechanism for transmitting an electrical signal from the output stage of an electro-optic transducer driver to an electro-optic transducer comprising: first and second differential input terminals of an electro-optic transducer, wherein the first differential input terminal is configured to be coupled to a voltage source when operational; a termination resistor having a first node coupled to the first differential input terminal of the electro-optic transducer; a first electro-optic transducer driver output node coupled to a second node of the termination resistor; a second electro-optic transducer driver output node coupled to the second differential input terminal of the electro-optic transducer; a first DC path from the first differential input terminal of the electro-optic transducer to the second electro-optic transducer driver output node; and a second DC path from the first node of the termination resistor to first electro-optic transducer driver output node.
