The MAX3975 is a +3.3V driver designed to directly
modulate common-anode vertical cavity surface emitting
lasers (VCSELs) at data rates up to 10.7Gbps. The
driver output can be connected directly to the VCSEL,
requiring no external components for biasing. With a
2.5mm x 2.5mm chip-scale package (UCSP™), transmit
disable, output-current monitor, and 0°C to +85°C operation,
the MAX3975 is ideal for 850nm XFP/XENPAK
transceivers.
The MAX3975 delivers 3mA to 12mA of modulation
current, with 1.5mA to 10mA of bias current (peak
current 22mA). Typical switching time is 28ps (20% to
80%) with 8ps of deterministic jitter.
