Abstract

In a transceiver component for optical data transmission a transmitter, a receiver and at least one integrated circuit are arranged in a single housing. The housing has a number of terminals. One terminal of the transceiver component is provided solely for feeding the driver current to the transmitter. Consequently, it is possible to connect the transmitter with its high current consumption directly with the non-stabilized power supply such as, for instance, the mains adapter, the rechargeable battery pack or the batteries. The stabilized power supply can then be dimensioned correspondingly smaller and be produced at lower cost.
