Abstract
A method for generating header and transition flags using the DPD technology and an optical device using the same are disclosed. The method first sets a first and a second threshold levels. Then, the method generates a phase difference signal, i.e. starting a phase detection function to generate a phase difference signal. The method generates a first transition flag signal and a second transition flag signal, wherein the first transition flag signal is enable if the phase difference signal is greater than a first threshold level and the second transition flag signal is enable if the phase difference signal is smaller than the second threshold level. The method then generates a first header flag signal and a second header flag signal according to the transition flag signal. The first header flag signal is enable if the first transition flag signal becomes enable before the second transition flag does, and the second header flag signal is enable if the second transition flag signal becomes enable before the first transition flag does.
