1Gbps to 4.25Gbps Multirate VCSEL
Driver with Diagnostic Monitors
General Description
The MAX3795 is a high-speed VCSEL driver for small-
form-factor (SFF) and small-form-factor pluggable (SFP)
fiber optic transmitters. It contains a bias generator, a
laser modulator, and comprehensive safety features.
The automatic power control (APC) adjusts the laser
bias current to maintain average optical power over
changes in temperature and laser properties. The dri-
ver accommodates common-cathode and differential
configurations.
The MAX3795 operates up to 4.25Gbps. It can switch
up to 15mA of laser modulation current and source up
to 15mA of bias current. Adjustable temperature com-
pensation is provided to keep the optical extinction
ratio within specifications over the operating tempera-
ture range. The MAX3795 interfaces with the Dallas
DS1856/DS1859 to meet SFF-8472 timing and diagnos-
tic requirements. The MAX3795 accommodates various
VCSEL packages, including low-cost TO-46 headers.
The MAX3795 safety circuit detects faults that could
cause hazardous light levels and disables the VCSEL
output. The safety circuits are compliant with SFF and
SFP multisource agreements (MSAs).
The MAX3795 is available in a compact 4mm
✕
4mm,
24-pin thin QFN package and operates over the -40°C
to +85°C temperature range. The MAX3795 is pin-for-
pin compatible with the MAX3740A and is available in
lead-free packages.

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.
