MAX3735 Overview
Key Features
- The devices accept differential input data and provide bias and modulation currents for driving a laser
- DCcoupling to the laser allows for multirate applications and reduces the number of external components
- The MAX3735/MAX3735A are fully compliant with the SFP MSA timing and the SFF-8472 transmit diagnostic requirements
- An automatic power-control (APC) feedback loop is incorporated to maintain a constant average optical power over temperature and lifetime
- The resistor range for the laser current settings is optimized to interface with the DS1858 SFP controller IC
- The MAX3735A also features improved multirate operation
- The MAX3735/MAX3735A come in package and die form, and operate over the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C
