The MAX3740A evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled
demonstration board that provides complete optical and
electrical evaluation of the MAX3740A VCSEL driver.
I
The output of the evaluation kit can be interfaced to an
SMA connector, which can be connected to a 50 terminated oscilloscope. With slight modifications, the
evaluation kit can also be used to evaluate the
MAX3740A operation with a common-cathode VCSEL.

In the electrical configuration, an automatic power control
(APC) test circuit is included to emulate a semiconductor
laser with a monitor photodiode. Monitor diode current is
provided by transistor Q1, which is controlled by an
operational amplifier (U2). The APC test circuit,
consisting of U2 and Q1, applies the simulated monitor
diode current to the MD pin of the MAX3740. To ensure
proper operation in the electrical configuration, set up the
evaluation board as follows:

Note: If the voltage at TP1 exceeds VPMTH (0.8V typ)
or TP3 exceeds VBMTH (0.8V typ), the FAULT signal
will be asserted and latched.
Place shunts on JU4 - JU8 and JU10 (see the
Adjustment and Control Description section for
details).
Remove shunts JU1 and JU2.
To enable the output connect TX_DISABLE to GND
by placing a shunt on JU3.
14) Adjust R2 until the desired laser modulation current
is achieved.
Note: When performing the following resistance
checks, autoranging DMMs may forward bias the onchip ESD protection and cause inaccurate
measurements. To avoid this, manually set the DMM
to a high range.
15) Adjust R14 (RPEAKSET) until the desired amount of
peaking is achieved.
4)
Adjust R15, the RBIASSET potentiometer, for 1.7kΩ
resistance between TP4 (BIASSET) and ground.
5) Adjust R1, the RPWRSET potentiometer, for 10kΩ
resistance between TP2 (REF) and pin 1 (MD) of
JU2.
6) Adjust R14, the RPEAKSET potentiometer, for 20kΩ
resistance between TP10 (PEAKSET) and ground,
to disable peaking.
7) Adjust R16, the RTC potentiometer, for 0Ω resistance
between TP7 (TC1) and TP8 (TC2), to disable
temperature compensation.
8) Adjust R2, the RMODSET potentiometer, for 10kΩ
resistance between TP9 (MODSET) and ground.
9) Apply a differential input signal (250mVP-P to
2200mVP-P) between SMA connectors J5 and J7
(IN+ and IN-).
10) Attach a high-speed oscilloscope with a 50Ω input to
SMA connector J6 (OUT).
11) Connect a +3.3V supply between TP20 (VCC) and
TP21 (GND). Adjust the power supply until the
voltage between TP11 and ground is +3.3V.
12) Adjust R1 (RPWRSET) until desired laser bias current is
achieved.

5)
Place shunts on JU2, JU6, JU7, JU8 and JU10 (See
the Adjustment and Control Description section for
details).
Remove components L2 and C9. Remove the shunts
from JU1, JU4 and JU5.
Install a 0Ω resistor at R7 to connect the anode of
the VCSEL to the output.
To enable the output connect TX_DISABLE to GND
by placing a shunt on JU3.
Connect a common cathode VCSEL as shown in
Figure 1. Keep leads short to reduce reflection.
Note: When performing the following resistance
checks, autoranging DMMs may forward bias the onchip ESD protection and cause inaccurate
measurements. To avoid this, manually set the DMM
to a high range.

10) Adjust R2, the RMODSET potentiometer, for 10kΩ
resistance between TP9 (MODSET) and ground.
11) Apply a differential input signal (250mVP-P to
2200mVP-P) between SMA connectors J5 and J7
(IN+ and IN-).
12) Attach the VCSEL fiber connector to an
optical/electrical converter.
13) Connect a +3.3V supply between TP20 (VCC) and
TP21 (GND). Adjust the power supply until the
voltage between TP11 and ground is +3.3V.
14) Adjust R1 (RPWRSET) until desired average optical
power is achieved.
15) The MD and BIAS currents can be monitored at TP1
(VPWRMON) and TP3 (VBIASMON) using the equations

Note: If the voltage at TP1 exceeds VPMTH (typical

16) Adjust R2 (RMODSET) until the desired optical
amplitude is achieved. Optical amplitude can be
observed on an oscilloscope connected to an
optical/electrical converter. VCSEL overshoot and
ringing can be improved by appropriate selection of
R10 and C10, as described in the Design Procedure
section of the MAX3740 data sheet.
