ABSTRACT:
An optical transmitting circuit is provided with a switching circuit including a first current path and a second current path, supplying constant current from an anode electrode to a cathode electrode of an emitting device through M1and M4in a first current path in response to a emission drive signal, supplying the constant current from the cathode electrode to the anode electrode through M2and M3in a second current path in response to a non-emission drive signal, and supplying bias for the emitting device from a constant current source. By this means, in the case where the emitting device is in an emission state, the sum of the bias current and the constant current via the first current path passes through the emitting device. On the other hand, in the case where the emitting device is in a non-emission state, the difference between the constant current via the second current path and the bias current passes through the emitting device. Therefore the current from the constant current source in the switching circuit may be reduced to less than that in the conventional current switch circuit. Thus it is made possible to provide an optical transmitting circuit with low electric power consumption and low crosstalk from a transmitter to a receiver in transmitter and receiver duplex modular construction.
