- Step S111 The MCU 13 executes other processing (any processing other than the offset cancellation processing), and moves the processing to step S112. This step is provided in order to prevent the offset cancellation process from exclusively using the MCU 13.
- Step S112 The MCU 13 increments the value of the main counter n, and moves the process to step S113.
- Step S113 The MCU 13 determines whether or not the values of the acceleration control flags ACF for all the channels are zero. If the determination result is true, the MCU 13 moves the process to step S114. If the determination result is false, that is, if the value of the acceleration control flag ACF of any channel is 1, the MCU 13 proceeds to step S116.
- Steps S114 to S115 The MCU 13 determines whether or not the value of the main counter n is greater than 100. If the determination result is true, the MCU 13 resets the value of the main counter n to 1, and returns the process to step S102.
- Steps S116 to S117 The MCU 13 determines whether or not the value of the main counter n is greater than 5. If the determination result is true, the MCU 13 resets the value of the main counter n to 1, and returns the process to step S102.
- the execution mode of the offset cancellation process is any one of execution modes 1 to 3 shown in the following table.
- the execution mode of the offset cancellation process is set to the acceleration control mode for all channels (step S101). Therefore, the execution mode of the offset cancellation process for each channel is ⁇ Execution mode 1> in the above table.
- step S104 the execution mode of the offset cancellation process for the channel is ⁇ execution mode 1> in the above table.
- ⁇ execution mode 2> The transition from ⁇ execution mode 1> to ⁇ execution mode 2> occurs independently in each channel.
- the execution mode of the offset cancellation process for each channel is from ⁇ execution mode 2> in the above table. Transition to ⁇ Execution mode 3>.
- the transition from ⁇ execution mode 2> to ⁇ execution mode 3> occurs simultaneously in all channels.
- the execution frequency of the threshold value changing process in ⁇ Effective Mode 3> is set to once / 100 ms, but is not limited to this.
- the execution frequency of the threshold value changing process in ⁇ Effective Mode 3> may be set to once / 5 seconds. In this case, in step S114 described above, it is determined whether or not the value of the main counter n is greater than 5000.
- FIG. 4 shows an operation example of the MCU 13 realized by determining the execution timing of the offset cancellation process according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 4,
- (a) is a waveform diagram showing the waveforms of the optical signal and the LOS signal
- (b) is a diagram showing an operation example of the MCU 13 in the section T1 shown in (a)
- (c) are figures which show one operation example of MCU13 in the section T2 shown to (a)
- (d) is a figure which shows one operation example of MCU13 in the section Tn shown to (a).
- a link for transmitting / receiving a COMINIT signal, a COMSAS signal, a SNT (Speed Negotiation Transmission) signal, and an MTT (Maximum Transmitter Training) signal after power-on is repeated up to 5 times, for example.
- the COMINIT signal, the COMSAS signal, and the SNT signal are OOB signals (an example of “first optical signal” in the claims) in which a DATA section and an IDLE section appear alternately.
- OOB signals have no meaning as signals in the bit pattern of the DATA section, but have meaning as signals in the width (duration) of the DATA section and the IDLE section (for example, the COMSAS signal has a DATA section of 106 ns) It is defined as an OOB signal in which IDLE sections of 960 nsec appear alternately). Therefore, the optical receiver 1 can correctly recognize these OOB signals regardless of whether or not the offset cancellation is completed.
- the MTT signal (an example of “second optical signal” in the claims) is a data signal in which the DATA section continues for 19.9 msec. The MTT signal has no meaning as a signal in the width of the DATA section, and has a meaning as a signal in the bit pattern in the DATA section.
- the LOS signal read by the MCU 13 has a value of 0 in the sections T1, T2,... For receiving the MTT signal and the section Tn for receiving other data signals, as shown in FIG. .
- the threshold voltage changing process is executed in those intervals in which the value of the LOS signal is zero.
- the period at which the MCU 13 reads the LOS signal is longer than the DATA section (106 nsec in the case of the COMSAS signal) of the OOB signal (COMINIT signal, COMSAS signal, and SNT signal), and the DATA section (19.9 ms) of the MTT signal. ) Is set shorter. Therefore, the reading of the LOS signal is executed at most once during the reception of the OOB signal, and is executed at least twice (four times in the present embodiment) during the reception of the MTT signal. Note that the value of the LOS signal read by the MCU 13 does not become 0 in the DATA section of the COMINIT signal, the COMSAS signal, and the SNT signal, as shown in FIG.
- the threshold voltage changing process is not executed in the DATA section of the COMINIT signal, the COMSAS signal, and the SNT signal. Therefore, even if the mark ratios of the COMINIT signal, the COMSAS signal, and the SNT signal are not 50%, there is no concern that the variable Vth is set to an incorrect value during the period in which these signals are received. As long as the mark ratio of the COMINIT signal, the COMSAS signal, and the SNT signal is 50%, the threshold voltage changing process may be executed even in a period in which these signals are received. In this case, it is not necessary to read the value of the LOS signal via the clear-on-read register.

- an offset canceling process involving a threshold voltage changing process for changing the value of the variable Vth by two steps is executed at a frequency of 2/5 ms ( Execution mode 1) in the above table

- the reception power varies due to the temperature change of the VCSEL.
- the amount of change in the variable Vth necessary for canceling the offset caused by such power fluctuation (making the absolute value
- the fluctuation range of the power of the optical signal received by the optical receiver 1 (hereinafter referred to as “reception power”) is ⁇ 2.3 dBm / + 2 as an example when the time-dependent deterioration of the VCSEL (details will be described later) is not considered. .6 dBm.

It is the graph obtained by confirming the relationship with [step] experimentally.
- the graph of FIG. 5 shows the following, for example. That is, when the initial value of the variable Vth is set to the maximum value, if the reception power is +1.5 dBm, the offset can be canceled by increasing the value of the variable Vth by 30 steps. Alternatively, when the initial value of the variable Vth is set to the minimum value, if the actual received power is ⁇ 1.5 dBm, the offset can be canceled by decreasing the value of the variable Vth by 10 steps.

- the value of the variable Vth expressed as 8-bit binary can be changed by a maximum of 56 steps until the last MTT signal is received. Therefore, even if the received power fluctuates by about 2.0 dB ( ⁇ 1.5 dB / + 0.5 dB) due to the temperature change of the VCSEL, if there is no fluctuation in the received power due to the deterioration of the VCSEL over time, the last link The offset can be canceled reliably before receiving the MTT signal in the up sequence.
- the fluctuation range of the received power is ⁇ 3.5 dB / + 0.5 dB (variation width). 4 dB).
- the amount of change in the variable Vth necessary for canceling the offset caused by such fluctuations in received power exceeds 56 steps.
- the initial value of Vth is set to the maximum value
- the amount of change in the variable Vth necessary for canceling the offset is 80 steps or more. Therefore, if the initial value of the variable Vth is fixed to the factory default value, the offset cannot be canceled before the MTT signal in the last link-up sequence is received.
- the value of the variable Vth at that time is written in the nonvolatile memory 14 at the end of the operation, and the value of the variable Vth read from the nonvolatile memory 14 at the start of the operation is the initial value of the offset cancellation process.
