APC loop can subtract from this maximum value but
cannot add to it. See the Bias Current vs. Maximum

When the MAX3669’s APC feature is used, program the
average optical power by adjusting the APCSET resis-
tor. To select this resistor, determine the desired moni-
tor current to be maintained over temperature and life.

To minimize optical output aberrations due to the laser
parasitic inductance, an RC shunt network may be
used (see Typical Operating Circuit ). If R

the output waveform. A bypass capacitor should also
be placed as close to the laser anode as possible for
best performance.
When transmitting NRZ data with long strings of consec-
utive identical digits (CIDs), LF droop can contribute to
PDJ. To minimize this PDJ, two external components
must be properly chosen: capacitor C
nates the APC loop time constant, and AC-coupling
capacitor C
To filter out noise effects and guarantee loop stability,
the recommended value for C
in an APC loop bandwidth of 20kHz. Consequently, the
PDJ associated with an APC loop time constant can be
ignored.

Referring to Figure 4, the droop resulting from long time

The MAX3669 data inputs are PECL compatible.
However, it is not necessary to drive the MAX3669 with
a standard PECL signal. As long as the specified com-
mon-mode voltage and differential voltage swings are
met, the MAX3669 will operate properly.
