An inductive device may include a pair of half-shell magnetically-conductive housings joined together and defining an enclosed cavity between them. The inductive device may also include primary and secondary windings provided spatially within the cavity providing magnetic coupling between them. The windings may be electrically insulated from each other and terminals of the primary and secondary windings may traverse to an exterior of the inductive device.

Miniature planar transformer

A method for aligning an opto-electronic component in an IC die with an optical port is disclosed. This is achieved, in various embodiments, by forming alignment features in the IC die that can mate with complementary alignment features of the optical port. The formation of alignment features can be performed at the wafer level during fabrication of the IC die. An optical signal carrier may be optically coupled to the optical port such that the signal carrier may communicate optically with the opto-electronic component.

Systems and methods for passive alignment of opto-electronic components

A laser driver system is disclosed that includes a first monitor current output node, a power set node, and a first feedback path. The first monitor current output node provides a first monitor current output signal that is representative of one of a bias current and a modulation current of the laser driver system. The power set node receives a power ratio set signal that represents a desired relationship of a power required for the laser driver to produce a high power level threshold to a power required for the laser driver to produce a low power level threshold. The first feedback path extends from the first monitor current output node to the power set node, and may be used for adjusting the power set signal when the monitor current output signal becomes non-linear.

System and method for compensating for laser non-linearity in a laser driver system

A microactuator is disclosed including one or more stationary plates formed on a substrate, a mirror base plate on which a mirror is formed, and one or more actuation plates coupled to the mirror base plate by one or more microspring mechanisms. The mirror base plate, the one or more actuation plates and the one or more microspring mechanisms are suspended over the stationary plates by one or more anchors. The stationary plates and the actuation plates are formed of a doped material so as to be electrically conductive. Upon application of a voltage potential between the respective plates, the actuation plates are pulled down toward the stationary plates, thus exerting a drive force on the base mirror plate to actuate the mirror between switching positions.
