Abstract:
An out-of-band (OOB) signal detector is disclosed. The OOB signal detector may include a first node configured to receive an alternating current (AC) portion and a direct current (DC) portion of an electrical signal. The AC portion may include modulated OOB data carried by the electrical signal. The OOB signal detector may also include a current to voltage processing circuit configured to extract the AC portion of the electrical signal. The OOB signal detector may additionally include a limiting amplifier circuit configured to receive the extracted AC portion and to generate an amplified signal based on the extracted AC portion. The OOB signal detector may further include an analog-to-digital convertor circuit configured to sample the amplified signal and to generate a digital sample that represents the modulated OOB data.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical receiver comprising:\n a photodiode configured to generate an electrical signal based on a received optical out-of-band signal; a plurality of current mirror circuits configured to extract a voltage differential signal that represents a modulated out-of-band data signal based on the electrical signal; a limiting amplifier circuit configured to receive the voltage differential signal and to apply a gain to the voltage differential signal to generate an amplified signal that includes the modulated out-of-hand data signal; and a demodulation circuit electrically coupled to the limiting amplifier circuit and configured to demodulate the modulated out-of-band data signal included in the amplified signal.
