FEATURES
3.3 V Dual-Loop, 50 Mbps to 3.3 Gbps
Laser Diode Driver
ADN2870
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADN2870
1
laser diode driver is designed for advanced SFP
and SFF modules, using SFF-8472 digital diagnostics. The device
features dual-loop control of the average power and extinction
ratio, which automatically compensates for variations in laser
characteristics over temperature and aging. The laser needs only
to be calibrated at 25°C, eliminating the expensive and time
consuming temperature calibration. The ADN2870 supports
single-rate operation from 50 Mbps to 3.3 Gbps or multirate
operation from 155 Mbps to 3.3 Gbps.
Average power and extinction ratios can be set with reference
voltages provided by a microcontroller DAC or by adjustable
resistors. The ADN2870 provides bias and modulation current
monitoring as well as fail alarms and automatic laser shutdown.
The device interfaces easily with the ADuC702x family of
MicroConverters® and with the ADN289x family of limiting
amplifiers to make a complete SFP/SFF transceiver solution. An
SFP reference design is available. The product is available in a
space-saving 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP specified over the −40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
