MAX3740 - 3.2Gbps SFP VCSEL Driver

General Description

The MAX3740 is a high-speed VCSEL driver for smallform-factor (SFF) and small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic LAN transmitters.

Key Features

  • The automatic power control (APC) adjusts the laser bias current to maintain average optical power over changes in temperature and laser properties. The driver accommodates common cathode and differential configurations. The MAX3740 operates up to 3.2Gbps. It can switch up to 15mA of laser modulation current and source up to 15mA of bias current. Adjustable temperature compensation is provided to keep the optical extinction ratio within specifications over the operating temperature range. The M.
