Problems solved by technology

[0005] (1) The operating voltage with a wide range is difficult to design and use for subsequent voltage-type comparator circuits
[0006] (2) Subsequent voltage-type comparator circuit design and integrated circuit manufacturing process are difficult to guarantee the working accuracy of 4mV and below, which makes it difficult to carry out later work
[0007] At the same time, if the resistance value of R1 is reduced, although the range of VROP will be narrowed, the minimum value of VROP will also be reduced, which in turn requires higher working precision and is difficult to meet the needs of equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical communication integrated circuit design, in particular to a circuit and method for detecting the intensity of received optical signals in a wide dynamic range. Background technique [0002] In optical communication, the optical fiber is used as a medium for transmitting optical signals, and the photodiode in the optical communication receiver is used to sense the optical signal and generate a current I proportional to the intensity of the optical signal (ie, light intensity). ROP (i.e. photoelectric conversion). The stronger the light intensity sent by the optical fiber, the larger the current output by the photodiode (the current is usually 0.1uA ~ 2mA). When the optical fiber is unplugged or the light intensity is very weak, the photodiode has no current output. [0003] In order to ensure the normal use of the optical communication receiver, the optical communication receiver needs to detect the receiv...
