It incorporates the functions of a biasing circuit and a modulation circuit, with integrated control op amps externally programmed by DC voltages. The integrated bias circuit provides a programmable biasing current up to 50mA. This bias current reflects a bias voltage of up to 1.25V on an external 50Ω load. The bias and modulation circuits are internally connected on chip, eliminating the need for an external bias inductor. A high-bandwidth, fully differential signal path is internally implemented to minimize jitter accumulation.
