MAX3667
The MAX3667 is a complete, +3.3V laser driver with
automatic power control (APC), designed for SDH/
SONET applications up to 622Mbps. It accepts differ-
ential PECL inputs, provides single-ended bias and
modulation currents, and operates over a -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
A temperature-stabilized reference voltage simplifies
laser current programming. It allows external program-
ming of the modulation current between 5mA
P-P
and
60mA
P-P
, and of the bias current between 5mA and
90mA.
The APC function, which incorporates a monitor photo-
diode, an external resistor, and two external capacitors,
maintains constant laser output power. Two current
monitors provide high-speed signals that are directly
proportional to the bias and modulation currents.
Additional features include disable/enable control and
a slow-start feature with a minimum turn-on time of
50ns. The MAX3667 is available in die form and in a
32-pin TQFP package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
