MAX3930/MAX3931/MAX3932
†
The MAX3930/MAX3931/MAX3932 are designed for
direct modulation of laser diodes at data rates up to
10.7Gbps. They provide adjustable laser bias and
modulation currents and are implemented using
Maxim’s second-generation in-house SiGe process.
The MAX3930 accepts differential CML clock and data
input signals and includes 50Ω on-chip termination
resistors. It delivers a 1mA to 100mA laser bias current
and a 20mA to 100mA modulation current with a typical
(20% to 80%) 25ps rise time. An input data retiming
latch can be used to reject input pattern-dependent jitter
if a clock signal is available.
The MAX3931/MAX3932 have an alternate pad out with
respect to the MAX3930. The MAX3931 includes the
series damping resistor R
D
on chip.
The MAX3930/MAX3931/MAX3932 also include an
adjustable pulse-width control circuit to minimize laser
pulse-width distortion.

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.
