A Single-Chip Peer-Relationship Optical Transceiver
09 June 1988
A CMOS peer-relationship optical transceiver has been fabricated, permitting bi-directional digital data transmission with one optical fiber.
The IC, when used with a single LED, provides two full-duplex user data channels at 19.2 kbit/s and 1200 bit/s via a time-division multiplexing of the optical signals.
