The DS1864 is an SFF-8472 multisource agreement (MSA)-compliant laser controller/monitor that is ideal for SFP optical-transceiver module designs. It controls laser driver bias and modulation currents through a pair of temperature-controlled current-sink DACs. System diagnostics are provided by monitoring three analog inputs, V_CC, and temperature through the internal temperature sensor. The device also contains all EEPROM required by the SFF-8472 MSA, including all A0h and A2h EEPROM. The DS1864's memory map can be configured to be compatible with both the DS1852/DS1856 and the DS1859 memory maps. Additionally, memory is secured with customer-configurable two-level password protection.

Eye-safety features are integrated by three fast-trip comparators that monitor transmit-power high, transmit-power low, and bias current. The fast-trip comparators drive a FET driver output to disable the laser in the case of eye safety violation.

With its integrated laser driver control, system diagnostics, eye-safety features, and internal temperature sensor, the DS1864 provides an ideal solution for SFP optical transceiver modules by improving system performance, reducing board space, and simplifying design.
