Abstract:
1. A circuit for monitoring operation of an optoelectronic transceiver, which includes a laser transmitter and a photodiode receiver, said circuit comprising: analog to digital conversion circuitry configured to convert at least two analog signals corresponding to operating conditions of said optoelectronic transceiver into a first digital value corresponding to a first operating condition and a second digital value corresponding to a second operating condition; memory configured to store the first digital value in a first memory location that is mapped to a predefined and unique first address and to store the second digital value in a second memory location that is mapped to a predefined and unique second address, wherein the first address and second address are known to a host external to the optoelectronic transceiver; and an interface configured to enable the host to access the first digital value using the first address and to access the second digital value using the second address.
