A passive Optical network (PON) is a point-to-multipoint, fiber to the premises network architecture in which unpowered Optical splitters are used to enable a single Optical fiber to serve multiple premises, typically 32-128. A PON consists of an Optical Line Termination (OLT) at the service provider s central office and a number of Optical Network Units (ONUs) near end users. A PON configuration reduces the amount of fiber and central office equipment required compared with point to point architectures
Design of Integrated Circuits for Optical Communications deals with the design of high-speed integrated circuits for Optical communication systems. Written for both students and practicing engineers, the book systematically takes the reader from basic concepts to advanced topics, establishing both rigor and intuition. The text emphasizes analysis and design in modern VLSI technologies, particularly CMOS, and presents numerous broadband circuit techniques. Leading researcher Behzad Razavi is also the author of Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits.
This is an example USB project showing how to interface an Optical mouse sensor (the ADNS-2620) with a standard XP/Vista computer.
The TD-USB-01 board with a PIC18F2550 communicates with:
* the PC: USB 2.0 through a mini-B connector.
* the mouse sensor board: SPI over 4-wire flatcable.
