An analog baseband circuit includes first and second DC (direct current) offset cancellers and an offset canceller controller. The first DC offset canceller includes a first filter and a first PGA (programmable gain amplifier) with a first gain step for eliminating a first dc component from an input baseband signal. The second DC offset canceller includes a second filter and a second PGA with a second gain step less than the first gain step for eliminating a second dc component from an output of the first DC offset canceller. The offset canceller controller controls the first and second filters to operate in a fast mode when a gain of the first PGA is changed.

A current reference circuit has a band gap voltage generating circuit, a voltage buffer, a voltage-to-current converting circuit and an auto-tuner. The band gap voltage generating circuit generates a band gap reference voltage. The voltage buffer generates a first bias voltage and a second bias voltage. The voltage-to-current converting circuit generates a source current in response to a tuning voltage. The auto-tuner generates the tuning voltage to maintain a transconductance. Thus, the current reference circuit may automatically adjust the transconductance, so that the current reference circuit may supply the source current that is stable against temperature and process variations.

This invention provides an optical fiber block that includes an optical-fiber-alignment portion and a stress-reduction-depth portion. In the optical-fiber-alignment portion, a V groove array is arranged to accommodate the non-coated fiber portion of a ribbon fiber. The V groove array is formed by primary and secondary wet-etching processes on a silicon wafer, and further includes first V grooves at both sides and second V grooves different from the first V grooves disposed between the first V grooves. Meanwhile, the stress-reduction-depth portion is formed by another wet etching, extending to a predetermined depth from the optical-fiber-alignment portion, for reducing stress caused by a variation in the coating thickness of the optical fibers.
