Abstract:
Some examples described herein provide for a heterogeneous integration module (HIM) that includes a thermal management apparatus. In an example, an apparatus (e.g., a HIM) includes a wiring substrate, a first component, a second component, and a thermal management apparatus. The first component and the second component are communicatively coupled together via the wiring substrate. The thermal management apparatus is in thermal communication with the first component and the second component. The thermal management apparatus has a first thermal energy flow path for dissipating thermal energy generated by the first component and has a second thermal energy flow path for dissipating thermal energy generated by the second component. The first thermal energy flow path has a lower thermal resistivity than the second thermal energy flow path.

Examples described herein generally relate to a temperature-locked loop for optical elements. In an example, a device includes a controller and a digital-to- analog converter (DAC). The controller includes a DC-controllable transimpedance stage (DCTS), a sheer circuit, and a processor. The DCTS is configured to be coupled to a photodiode. An input node of the sheer circuit is coupled to an output node of the DCTS. The processor has an input node coupled to an output node of the sheer circuit. The DAC has an input node coupled to an output node of the processor and is configured to be coupled to a heater. The processor is configured to control (i) the DCTS to reduce a DC component of a signal on the output node of the DCTS and (ii) an output voltage on the output node of the DAC, both based on a signal output by the sheer circuit.
