Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an optical module having digital diagnostic monitoring functions and a circuit and method to control the optical module. In an embodiment, a control circuit for an optical module including an optical receiving unit and an optical transmitting unit may comprise a first memory for storing a plurality of configuration parameters at predefined locations within the first memory, a second memory for storing a plurality of variables at dynamically allocated locations of the second memory, the plurality of variables including variables corresponding to a current operation status of the optical module, and an analog-to-digital converter configured to receive an analog signal corresponding to the current operation status and convert the analog signal to a digital value to be stored as the variable corresponding to the current operation status in the dynamically allocated location of the second memory.
