19-2597; Rev 1; 5/04 3.2Gbps Compact SFP VCSEL Driver General Description The MAX3741 is a high-speed VCSEL driver for smallform-factor (SFF) and small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber-optic LAN transmitters. It contains a bias generator, laser modulator, and peaking current option to improve VCSEL edge speed. The driver accommodates common cathode and differential configurations. The MAX3741 operates up to 3.2Gbps. It can switch up to 15mA of laser modulation current and source up to 15mA of bias current. The MAX3741 is designed to interface with a digital potentiometer and control circuitry. The MAX3741 accommodates various VCSEL packages, including low-cost TO-46 headers.
