+3.3V, 2.5Gbps Low-Power Laser Driver
General Description
The MAX3273 is a compact, low-power laser driver for
applications up to 2.7Gbps. The device uses a single
+3.3V supply and typically consumes 30mA. The bias
and modulation current levels are programmed by
external resistors. An automatic power-control (APC)
loop is incorporated to maintain a constant average
optical power over temperature and lifetime. The laser
driver is fabricated using Maxim’s in-house, second-
generation SiGe process.
The MAX3273 accepts differential CML-compatible
clock and data input signals. Inputs are self-biased to
allow AC-coupling. An input data-retiming latch can be
enabled to reject input jitter if a clock signal is available.
The driver can provide bias current up to 100mA and
modulation current up to 60mA
P-P
with typical (20% to
80%) edge speeds of 59ps. A failure-monitor output is
provided to indicate when the APC loop is unable to
maintain average optical power. The MAX3273 is avail-
able in 4mm
✕
4mm, 24-pin QFN and thin QFN pack-
ages, as well as in die form.

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.
