DS3922
High-Speed Current Mirror and
Integrated FETs for DC-DC Controller
General Description
The DS3922 high-speed current mirror integrates highvoltage devices necessary for monitoring the burst mode
receive power signal in avalanche photodiode (APD) biasing and OLT applications. The device has two small and
one large gain current mirror outputs to monitor the APD
current. An adjustable current clamp limits current through
the APD. The clamp also features an external shutdown.
An integrated FET is also provided that can be used to
quickly clamp the high-voltage bias to ground in the case
of high optical input power. Integrated low-voltage FET
circuits can be used to create buck, boost, and inverting
DC-DC converters for efficient laser bias and EML bias
applications.
The DS3922 is available in a 24-pin TQFN package and
operates over an extended -40°C to +95°C temperature
range.

DS3922
High-Speed Current Mirror and
Integrated FETs for DC-DC Controller
Detailed Description
The DS3922 contains high-voltage (HV) components
required to monitor the APD bias current. The device’s
mirror outputs are a current that is a precise ratio of the
output current across a large dynamic range. The mirror
response time is fast enough to comply with GPON Rx
burst-mode monitoring requirements. The device has a
built-in current-limiting feature to protect APDs. This current limit is adjustable using an external resistor. The APD
current can also be shut down by ISRC/SHDN or thermal
shutdown. The internal HV FET may be used as a fast
APD shutdown. Low-voltage FETs can be used to create
various DC-DC converters.
Current Mirrors
The device includes three current mirrors, as shown in
Figure 1. One is a 10:1 (10%) mirror connected at IOUT.
The other two are a 1.25:1 (80%) and the 5:1 (20%) mirror connected to VIP1 and VIP2. On pins VIP1 and VIP2,
resistors to ground should be selected such that the maximum voltage should be below the external ADC full scale.
For example, if the maximum monitored current through
the APD is 1mA, the mirror is 1.25:1 ratio, and then the
correct resistor is approximately 780Ω for the external
ADC having full scale of 0.625V.
Current Mirror Filter
The device includes a filter to stabilize the MIROUT
voltage. An external capacitor must be connected to the
MIRCAP pin.
Current Source for Mirror Bias
The current mirror response time is improved by providing a continuous current source. This source is adjustable
by changing the resistor connected to the ISRC/SHDN
pin. However, only one value is allowed to guarantee
performance (see the Electrical Characteristics section):
ISRC = (6/RISRC) ±6%
Current Mirror Voltage-Drop Monitor
The device includes a voltage monitor that indicates the
voltage drop across the current mirror. This signal is output on APDV. This signal should be used to accurately
maintain the correct APD bias voltage in conjunction with
the feedback resistors for the APD bias boost converter:
APDV = (VMIRIN - VMIROUT)/2
Current Clamp
The device has a current-clamping circuit to protect the
APD by limiting the amount of current from MIROUT. The
current limit is defined by a resistor connected between
RLIM and ground. A larger RLIM results in a lower current
clamp limit (see the Electrical Characteristics table).
Shutdown
The MIROUT output can be set to a high-impedance state
using the ISRC/SHDN pin, effectively disabling the APD.
The ISRC/SHDN pin is active high.
