Description
The TriQuint TGA4953-EPU is part of a series of surface
mount modulator drivers suitable for a variety of driver
applications and is compatible with Metro MSA standards.
The 4953 consists of two high performance wideband
amplifiers combined with off chip circuitry assembled in a
surface mount package. A single 4953 placed between
the MUX and Optical Modulator provides OEMs with a
board level modulator driver surface mount solution.
The 4953 provides Metro and Long Haul designers with
system critical features such as: low power dissipation
(1.1 W at Vo=6 V), very low rail ripple, high voltage drive
capability at 5V bias (6 V amplitude adjustable to 3 V), low
output jitter (10 ps typical), and low input drive sensitivity
(250 mV at Vo=6 V).
The 4953 requires external DC blocks, a low frequency
choke, and control circuitry.
The TGA4953-EPU is available on an evaluation board.

Assure the combination of Vd and Id does not exceed maximum power dissipation rating.
When operated at this bias condition with a base plate temperature of 80
0
C, the median life is reduced.
Assure Vctl1 never exceeds Vd1 and assure Vctrl2 never exceeds Vd2 during bias up and down sequences.
These ratings apply to each individual FET.
Junction operating temperature will directly affect the device median time to failure (MTTF). For maximum
life, it is recommended that junction temperatures be maintained at the lowest possible levels.
6/ These ratings represent the maximum operable values for the device.

specifications. Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Vd2T=4.7V,

Notes:
1. Based on a detailed thermal model of the output stage where channel temperature is highest.
Assumes worst case power dissipation condition (where no RF is applied at the input (no
power is dissipated in the load).
2. Thermal transfer is conducted thru the bottom of the TGA4953EPU package into the motherboard.
Design the motherboard to assure adequate thermal transfer to the base plate.

specifications. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
