The MAX3946 is a +3.3V, multirate, low-power laser diode driver designed for Ethernet and Fibre Channel transmission systems at data rates up to 11.3Gbps. This device is optimized to drive a differential transmit­ter optical subassembly (TOSA) with a 25I flex circuit. The unique design of the output stage enables use of unmatched TOSAs, greatly reducing headroom limita­tions and lowering power consumption.

The device receives differential CML-compatible signals with on-chip line termination. It can deliver laser modula­tion current of up to 80mA, at an edge speed of 20ps (20% to 80%), into a 5I to 25I external differential load. The device is designed to have a symmetrical output stage with on-chip back terminations integrated into its outputs. A high-bandwidth, fully differential signal path is implemented to minimize deterministic jitter. An equalization block can be activated to compensate for the SFP+ connector. The integrated bias circuit provides programmable laser bias current up to 80mA. Both the laser bias generator and the laser modulator can be dis­abled from a single pin, DISABLE.

A 3-wire digital interface reduces the pin count and permits adjustment of input equalization, pulse-width adjustment, Tx polarity, Tx deemphasis, modulation cur­rent, and bias current without the need for external com­ponents. The MAX3946 is available in a 4mm x 4mm, 24-pin TQFN package.
