ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a pulse shaping circuit for shaping electrical pulses driving an optical transmitter, e.g. a lased diode or an LED, and for providing electrical pulses having independently height and width-adjustable peaking at the edges thereof. The pulse shaping circuit of the present invention includes a high-pass RC filter with a differential output for providing transient electrical pulses from an input differential pulse, an adjustable voltage offset generating circuit, a differential amplifier for adjusting the width of the transient electrical pulses in dependence on the adjustable voltage offset, and a variable-gain current-steering amplifier for producing transient pulses with independently adjustable width and height.
