An integrated post-amplifier and laser driver assembly is provided that is implemented as a single integrated circuit and includes a plurality of amplifiers or other control devices or circuits configured to implement various effects concerning data signals received and/or transmitted by a transceiver in conjunction with which the integrated post-amplifier and laser driver assembly is employed. A digital control interface is included in the integrated post-amplifier and laser driver assembly and is configured to receive a control signal from an external digital controller. A glue logic module, and associated digital to analog controllers, of the integrated post-amplifier and laser driver assembly parse the control signal and generate and transmit corresponding analog signals to one or more of the amplifiers so as to implement processing of a data signal received from the optical receiver, as well as the control of data transmission by way of a suitable transmitter.
