ADN2872
DESCRIPTION
Like the ADN2870, the ADN28721 laser diode driver is designed for advanced SFP and SFF modules, using SFF-8472 digital diagnostics. The device features dual-loop control of the average power and extinction ratio, which automatically pensates for variations in laser characteristics over temperature and aging. The laser needs only be calibrated at 25°C, eliminating the need for expensive and time consuming temperature calibration. The ADN2872 supports single-rate operation from 50 Mbps to 3.3 Gbps, or multirate operation from 155 Mbps to 3.3 Gbps. With a new alarm scheme, this device avoids the shutdown issue caused by the system transient generated from various lasers. The average power and extinction ratio can be set with a voltage provided by a microcontroller DAC or by a trimmable resistor. The part provides both bias and modulation current monitoring, as well as fail alarms and automatic laser shutdown. The ADN2872, a SFF-/SFP-pliant laser diode driver, can work with...
