Abstract

A dual rate receiving device is provided, which is applicable to an optical transceiver module, and includes a dual rate optical receiving component, a channel switching circuit, a low-speed limiting amplifier data path, and a high-speed limiting amplifier data path. The dual rate optical receiving component further includes a photodetector and a dual rate trans-impedance amplifier, the channel switching circuit further includes a first controllable switch, a second controllable switch, a third controllable switch, and a fourth controllable switch, the low-speed limiting amplifier data path further includes a low-speed limiting amplifier, and the high-speed limiting amplifier data path further includes a high-speed limiting amplifier. The technical solution is adopted, so that while an optical receiving component is working at the most suitable rate, a limiting amplifier data path at a corresponding working rate can be selected, so as to implement a high sensitivity.
