The MAX3738 is a +3.3V laser driver designed for mul-
tirate transceiver modules with data rates from
155Mbps to 4.25Gbps. Lasers can be DC-coupled to
the MAX3738 for reduced component count and ease
of multirate operation.
Laser extinction ratio control (ERC) combines the features
of automatic power control (APC), modulation compensa-
tion, and built-in thermal compensation. The APC loop
maintains constant average optical power. Modulation
compensation increases the modulation current in pro-
portion to the bias current. These control loops, com-
bined with thermal compensation, maintain a constant
optical extinction ratio over temperature and lifetime.
The MAX3738 accepts differential data input signals.
The wide 5mA to 60mA (up to 85mA AC-coupled) mod-
ulation current range and up to 100mA bias current
range, make the MAX3738 ideal for driving FP/DFB
lasers in fiber optic modules. External resistors set the
required laser current levels. The MAX3738 provides
transmit disable control (TX_DISABLE), single-point
fault tolerance, bias-current monitoring, and photocur-
rent monitoring. The device also offers a latched failure
output (TX_FAULT) to indicate faults, such as when the
APC loop is no longer able to maintain the average
optical power at the required level. The MAX3738 is
compliant with the SFF-8472 transmitter diagnostic and
SFP MSA timing requirements.
The MAX3738 is offered in a 4mm x 4mm, 24-pin thin
QFN package and operates over the extended -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
