19-2281; Rev 2; 5/03 2.7Gbps Laser Driver with Modulation Compensation General Description The MAX3863 is designed for direct modulation of laser diodes at data rates up to 2.7Gbps. An automatic power-control (APC) loop is incorporated to maintain a constant average optical power. Modulation compensation is available to increase the modulation current in proportion to the bias current. The optical extinction ratio is then maintained over temperature and lifetime. The laser driver can modulate laser diodes at amplitudes up to 80mA. Typical (20% to 80%) edge speeds are 50ps. The MAX3863 can supply a bias current up to 100mA. External resistors can set the laser output levels. The MAX3863 includes adjustable pulse-width control to minimize laser pulse-width distortion. The device offers a failure monitor output to indicate when the APC loop is unable to maintain the average optical power. The MAX3863 accepts differential CML clock and data input signals with on-chip 50Ω termination resistors. If a clock signal is available, an input data-retiming latch can be used to reject input pattern-dependent jitter. The laser driver is fabricated with Maxim’s in-house second-generation SiGe process. ♦ Single +3.3V Power Supply ♦ 58mA Power-Supply Current ♦ Up to 2.7Gbps (NRZ) Operation ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ On-Chip Termination Resistors Automatic Power Control (APC) Compensation for Constant Extinction Ratio Programmable Modulation Current Up to 80mA Programmable Bias Current Up to 100mA 50ps Typical Rise/Fall Time Pulse-Width Adjustment Circuit Selectable Data-Retiming Latch Failure Detector Mark-Density Monitor Features MAX3863 ♦ Current Monitors ♦ ESD Protection Ordering Information PART MAX3863EGJ MAX3863E/D* TEMP RANGE -40°C to +85°C -40°C to +85°C PINPACKAGE 32 QFN Dice PKG CODE G3255-1 — *Dice are designed and guaranteed to operate from -40°C to +85°C, but are tested only at TA = +25°C Applications SONET and SDH Transmission Systems 30 BIASMAX 32 RTEN Pin Configuration 28 MODCOMP 3.2Gbps Data Communications Add/Drop Multiplexers Digital Cross-Connects Section Regenerators Long-Reach Optical Transmitters VCC 27 VCC WDM Transmission Systems TOP VIEW 26 BIASMON 29 MODSET 31 EN 25 MODMON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 24 23 22 MDMON MD VCC DATA+ DATAVCC VCC MAX3863 21 20 19 18 17 MODN MOD VCC CLK+ CLKVCC BIAS FAIL APCFILT1 10 APCFILT2 11 PWC+ 12 PWC- 13 THE EXPOSED PAD MUST BE SOLDERED TO GND ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD. ________________________________________________________________ Maxim Integrated Products APCSET Covered by U.S. patent number 5,883,910.

AC Characterization Detailed Description The MAX3863 laser driver has two main components: a high-speed modulation driver and a biasing block with APC. The clock and data inputs to the modulation driver use CML logic levels. The optional clock signal synchronizes data transitions for minimum pattern-dependent jitter. Outputs to the laser diode consist of a switched modulation current and a steady bias current. The APC loop adjusts the laser diode bias current to maintain constant average optical power. Compensation of the modulation current can be programmed to keep a constant extinction ratio over time and temperature. The modulation output stage uses a programmable current source with a maximum current of 80mA. A high-speed differential pair switches the source to the laser diode. The rise and fall times are typically 50ps. Mark-Density Outputs The MK+ and MK- outputs monitor the input signal mark density. With a 50% mark density, both outputs are the same voltage. More ones cause the MK+ voltage to increase and the MK- voltage to decrease. Fewer ones than zeros cause MK- to be at a higher voltage than MK+. Pulse-Width Control A pulse-width adjustment range of 50% to 150% (±185ps) is available at 2.7Gbps. This feature compensates pulse-width distortion elsewhere in the system. Resistors at the PWC+ and PWC- pins program the pulse width. The sum of the resistors is 1kΩ. The pins can be left open for a 100% pulse width. A voltage also can control these pins. A differential voltage of 600mV (typ) gives ±185ps of pulse-width distortion. Optional Input Data Retiming To eliminate pattern-dependent jitter in the input data, a synchronous differential clock signal should be connected to the CLK+ and CLK- inputs, and the RTEN control input should be connected low. The input data is retimed on the rising edge of CLK+. If RTEN is tied high or is left floating, the retiming function is disabled, and the input data is directly connected to the output stage. Leave CLK+ and CLK- open when retiming is disabled. Output Enable The MAX3863 incorporates an input to enable current to the laser diode. When EN is low, the modulation and bias outputs at the MOD pin are enabled. When EN is high or floating, the output is disabled. In the disabled condition, bias and modulation currents are off. Power-Supply Threshold To prevent data errors caused by low supply, the MAX3863 disables the laser diode current for supply voltage less than 2.7V. The power-supply threshold and _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 2.7Gbps Laser Driver with Modulation Compensation MAX3863 the output-enable must be true to enable bias and modulation currents. APC Loop Enable The APC loop is enabled when an external capacitor is placed between the APCFILT1 and APCFILT2 pins. This capacitor sets the time constant of the APC loop. To open the APC loop, the APCFILT1 pin is shorted to ground. This shorts the feedback from the monitor diode and causes the bias current to rise to the maximum value set by the BIASMAX pin. voltage to monitor diode current, use an external 4kΩ resistor at the MDMON output. Resistors for BIASMON and MODMON are 100Ω. The minimum voltage at the monitor pins must be 2.1V for compliance. I VBIASMON = BIAS × 100Ω 40 I VMODMON = MOD × 100Ω 45 I VMDMON = MD × 4kΩ 4 APC Filter The APC loop keeps the average optical power from the laser constant. An external filter capacitor is used to stabilize the APC loop. The typical capacitor value is 0.01µF. APC Failure Monitor The MAX3863 provides an APC failure monitor (TTL/CMOS) to indicate an APC loop tracking failure. FAIL is set low when the APC loop cannot adjust the bias current to maintain the desired monitor current. Design Procedure When designing a laser transmitter, the optical output is usually expressed in terms of average power and extinction ratio. Table 1 shows relationships helpful in converting between the optical average power and the modulation current. These relationships are valid only if the mark density and duty cycle of the optical waveform are 50%. For a desired laser average optical power (PAVG) and optical extinction ratio (re), the required modulation current can be calculated based on the laser slope efficiency (η) using the equations in Table 1. Short-Circuit Protection The MAX3863 provides short-circuit protection for modulation, bias, and monitor current sources. If BIASMAX, MODSET, or APCSET is shorted to ground, the bias and modulation output are turned off and FAIL is active. Current Monitors The MAX3863 features monitor outputs for bias current (BIASMON), modulation current (MODMON), and monitor diode current (MDMON). The monitors are realized by mirroring a fraction of the current and developing a voltage across an external resistor. For the specified Laser Current Compensation Requirements Determine static bias and modulation current requirements from the laser threshold current and slope efficiency.

This reduces the current through the laser diode from the average of I BIAS by half of I MOD . The resulting peak-to-peak current through the laser diode is then IMOD. See the Typical Operating Circuit. The requirement for compliance in the AC-coupled circuit: • • • • VD—Diode bias point voltage (1.2V typ) RL—Diode bias point resistance (5Ω typ) L—Diode lead inductance (1nH typ) RD—Series matching resistor (20Ω typ) I VCC − MOD × (RD + RL ) ≥ 1.8V 2 The time constant associated with the output pullup inductor and the AC-coupling capacitor, impacts the pattern-dependent jitter. For this second-order network LP usually limits the low-frequency cutoff. The capacitor CD is selected so: CD × (RD + RL ) > LP (RD + RL ) MAX3863 use information about the effects of temperature and aging. The laser driver automatically adjusts the bias to maintain the constant average power. The new bias condition requires proper compensation of the modulation current. The designer must predict the slope efficiency of the laser after its bias threshold current has changed. The modulation and bias currents under a single operating condition: IMOD = 2 × For AC-coupled diodes: PAVG re − 1 × η re + 1 Keep the peak voltage droop less than 3% of the peakto-peak amplitude during the maximum CID period t. The required time constant: −t I IBIAS = ITH + MOD 2 The required compensation factor is then: 2.8% = 1 − e τ = 35 × t τ I K = MOD2 IBIAS2 − IMOD1 − IBIAS1 If τ = LP/25Ω, and t = 100UI = 40ns, then LP = 35µH. Place a good high-frequency inductor of 2µH on the transmission line to the laser. Then you can place a low-frequency inductor of 33µH at a convenient distance from the driver output. Programming the Bias Current When the APC loop is enabled, the actual bias current is reduced from the maximum value to maintain constant current from the monitor diode. With closed-loop control, the bias current will be set by the transfer function of the monitor diode to laser diode current. For example, if the transfer function to the monitor diode is 10.0µA/mA, then setting IMD for 500µA results in IBIAS equal to 50mA. The bias current must be limited in case the APC loop becomes open. The bias current also needs a set point in case the APC control is not used. The BIASMAX pin sets the maximum bias current. The BIASMAX current is established by an internal current regulator, which maintains the bandgap voltage of 1.2V across the external 9 Once the value of the compensation factor is known, the fixed portion of the modulation current is calculated from: I MODS = I MOD − K × I BIAS Current Limits To allow larger modulation current, the laser is ACcoupled to the MAX3863. In this configuration, a constant current is supplied from the inductor LP. When the MOD pin is conducting, half of IMOD is supplied from LP and half is from the laser diode.
