Integrated post amplifier and laser including a digital control interface (200, FIG. 1) for communicating with an external digital IC controller having an I2C bus configured to receive signal parameter programming input from a user A driver assembly (302A, FIG. 1) is provided. The PA / LD (100, FIG. 1) includes one or more DACs (104n, FIG. 1) that communicate with the digital control interface via a glue logic module. The PA / LD is provided with a memory that communicates with the DAC via the glue logic module and stores an algorithm for facilitating the execution of changes to the signal parameters of one or more signals via the DAC. . Signal parameter programming instructions from the user via the I2C bus and / or from an internally coded algorithm are received at the PA / LD to facilitate the execution of changes to the signal parameters of one or more signals.
