Abstract

An optical receiver device includes a boost converter circuit, an optical receiver circuit, and a pulse width modulation controller circuitry. The boost converter circuit is configured to convert a supply voltage according to a pulse width modulation signal, in order to generate an output voltage. The optical receiver circuit is configured to set a gain according to the output voltage, in order to convert an optical signal to a data signal according to the gain. The pulse width modulation controller circuitry is configured to perform a digital to analog conversion according to a control code to gradually adjust a current associated with the output voltage, and to compare the output voltage with a reference voltage to generate the pulse width modulation signal.
