| 1. An optical transceiver module, comprising:
a transceiver housing;
a Transmitter Optical Subassembly (TOSA) disposed at least partially within the housing;
an optical transmitter, substantially disposed within the TOSA;
a Receiver Optical Subassembly (ROSA) disposed at least partially within said housing;
an optical receiver, substantially disposed within the ROSA;
a plurality of electrical components, each of which are disposed within the housing and each comprising a unique identification
logic scheme activation of which permits data to be provided to the selected electrical component;
a single electrical connection that interconnects the plurality of electrical components, the single electrical connection
configured to convey the data for the selected electrical component; and
a host serial interface controller substantially disposed within the housing, the host serial interface controller configured
to couple the single electrical connection to a host system, wherein the plurality of electrical components comprise an interface
for communicating with the single electrical connection that interconnects the plurality of electrical components, a memory,
an analog-to-digital converter, a digital-to-analog converter, and one of address logic or chip select logic.
