19-3116; Rev 0; 12/03 www.DataSheet4U.com 3.2Gbps, Low-Power, Compact, SFP Laser Driver General Description The MAX3736 is a compact, +3.3V multirate laser driver for SFP/SFF applications up to 3.2Gbps. The device accepts differential data and provides bias and modulation currents for driving a laser. DC-coupling to the laser allows for multirate applications, and reduces the number of external components. The wide 5mA to 60mA (85mA AC-coupled) modulation current range and 1mA to 100mA bias current make the MAX3736 ideal for driving FP/DFB laser diodes in fiberoptic modules. The laser current setting can be controlled by a current DAC, a voltage DAC, or a resistor.
