MIC3000 Datasheet | Micrel Semiconductor

Description The MIC3000 enables the implementation of sophisticated, hot-pluggable fiber optic transceivers with intelligent laser control and Digital Diagnostic Monitoring Interface per SFF8472. It essentially integrates all non-datapath functions of an SFP transceiver into a tiny 4mm × 4mm MLF™ package. It also works well as a microcontroller peripheral in transponders or 10Gbps transceivers. A highly configurable automatic power control (APC) circuit controls laser bias. Bias and modulation are temperature pensated using dual DACs, an on-chip temperature sensor, and NVRAM look-up tables. A programmable internal feedback resistor provides unprecedented dynamic range for APC. Controlled laser turn-on facilitates hot-plugging. An analog-to-digital converter converts the measured temperature, voltage, bias current, transmit power, and received power from analog-to-digital. Each parameter is pared against user-programmed warning and alarm thresholds. Analog parators and DACs provide high-speed monitoring of received power and critical laser operating parameters. An interrupt output, power-on hour meter, and data-ready bits add user friendliness beyond SFF-8472. The interrupt output and data-ready bits reduce overhead in the host system. The power-on hour meter logs operating hours using an internal real-time clock and stores the result in NVRAM. munication with the MIC3000 is via an industry standard 2-wire serial interface. Nonvolatile memory is provided for serial ID, configuration, and separate OEM and user scratchpad spaces. Two-level password protection guards against data corruption.
