Abstract

See full text

Methods, algorithms, architectures, circuits, and/or systems for determining the status of parameters associated with optical transceiver operation are disclosed. The optical transceiver can include an optical receiver to receive optical data; an optical transmitter to transmit optical data; one or more memories to store data (and, optionally, thresholds) for each of a plurality of parameters that are related to operation of at least one of the optical receiver and the optical transmitter; a microprocessor that compares the parametric data against the threshold(s) to calculate one or more flags to indicate whether a corresponding parameter has exceeded the first or second threshold; and an interface that receives a flag request from a host, and provides the one or more flags in response to the request. In the present disclosure, the microprocessor may calculate the one or more flags only in response to the flag request from the host.
