A transceiver printed circuit board (PCB) includes an integrated circuit (IC) with at least two different functionality, a photodiode and a laser. The IC has a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, a third side connecting the first side and the second side, and a fourth side opposite to the third side. The photodiode and the laser are both located in a first space beside the first side. The functionality of a transimpedance amplifier, a laser driver, and a clock and data recovery is integrated into the IC.

Layout of optical engine components and integrated circuits on a transceiver printed circuit board

A printed circuit board assembly comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) defining a mounting end and an opposite contacting end, a row of first pads on the mounting end, a row of second pads on the contacting end, and an edge connector on the contacting end electrically contacted with the second pads, and a high speed line module mounted on a top side of the PCB and including a group of conductive lines, the conductive lines extending parallel to each other over the plane of the PCB, each conductive line having two ends electrically connected to corresponding first and second pads, respectively.
