Optoelectronic transceiver with multiple flag values for a respective operating condition
DCFirst Claim
1. An optoelectronic transceiver comprising:
- an optoelectronic transmitter;
an optoelectronic receiver;
comparison logic to compare sensor values representative of operating conditions of the optoelectronic transceiver with corresponding limit values to generate flag values;
memory to store the flag values, the flag values comprising a first flag value and a second flag value associated with a respective operating condition, wherein the first flag value and a second flag value are associated with a shared memory address; and
a module configured to;
receive, from a host external to the optoelectronic transceiver, a request for information associated with the respective operating condition, wherein the request includes the shared memory address; and
respond to the host by sending flag values associated with the shared memory address, wherein the flag values sent to the host include at least the first flag value and the second flag value.

Abstract
An optoelectronic transceiver includes an optoelectronic transmitter, an optoelectronic receiver, memory, and an interface. The memory is configured to store digital values representative of operating conditions of the optoelectronic transceiver. The interface is configured to receive from a host a request for data associated with a particular memory address, and respond to the host with a specific digital value of the digital values. The specific digital value is associated with the particular memory address received form the host. The optoelectronic transceiver may further include comparison logic configured to compare the digital values with limit values to generate flag values, wherein the flag values are stored as digital values in the memory.
