3.0V to 5.5V, 2.5Gbps VCSEL
and Laser Driver
General Description
The MAX3996 is a high-speed laser driver for small-
form-factor (SFF) fiber optic LAN transmitters. It con-
tains a bias generator, a laser modulator, and
comprehensive safety features. Automatic power con-
trol (APC) adjusts the laser bias current to maintain
average optical power, regardless of changes in tem-
perature or laser properties. The driver accommodates
common anode or differential laser configurations. The
output current range of the MAX3996 is appropriate for
VCSELs and high-efficiency edge-emitting lasers.
The MAX3996 operates up to 3.2Gbps. It can switch up
to 30mA of laser modulation current and sink up to
60mA bias current. Adjustable temperature compensa-
tion is provided to keep the optical extinction ratio with-
in specifications over the operating temperature range.
The MAX3996 accommodates various laser packages,
including low-cost TO-46 headers. Low deterministic jit-
ter (9ps
P-P
), combined with fast edge transitions,
(65ps) provides excellent margins compared to indus-
try-standard transmitter eye masks.
This laser driver provides extensive safety features to
guarantee single-point fault tolerance. Safety features
include a transmit disable, redundant shutdown, and
laser-bias monitoring. The safety circuit detects faults
that could cause hazardous light levels and immediate-
ly disables the laser output. The MAX3996 safety cir-
cuits are compliant with SFF and small-form-factor
pluggable (SFP) multisource agreements (MSA).
The MAX3996 is available in a compact 4mm
✕
4mm,
20-pin QFN package and a 20-pin thin QFN package. It
operates over a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

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.
