MAX3735/MAX3735A
The MAX3735/MAX3735A are +3.3V laser drivers for
SFP/SFF applications from 155Mbps up to 2.7Gbps.
The devices accept differential input data and provide
bias and modulation currents for driving a laser. DC-
coupling to the laser allows for multirate applications
and reduces the number of external components. The
MAX3735/MAX3735A are fully compliant with the SFP
MSA timing and the SFF-8472 transmit diagnostic
requirements.
An automatic power-control (APC) feedback loop is incor-
porated to maintain a constant average optical power
over temperature and lifetime. The wide modulation cur-
rent range of 10mA to 60mA (up to 85mA AC-coupled)
and bias current of 1mA to 100mA make this product
ideal for driving FP/DFB laser diodes in fiber-optic mod-
ules. The resistor range for the laser current settings is
optimized to interface with the DS1858 SFP controller IC.
The MAX3735/MAX3735A provide transmit-disable con-
trol, a single-point latched transmit-failure monitor out-
put, photocurrent monitoring, and bias-current
monitoring to indicate when the APC loop is unable to
maintain the average optical power. The MAX3735A
also features improved multirate operation.
The MAX3735/MAX3735A come in package and die
form, and operate over the extended temperature
range of -40°C to +85°C.

0.8s, DC-coupled interface.
Gain stability is defined by the digital diagnostic document (SFF-8472, rev. 9.0) over temperature and supply variation.
Assuming that the laser diode to photodiode transfer function does not change with temperature.
Accuracy refers to part-to-part variation.
Deterministic jitter is measured using a 2
23
- 1 PRBS or equivalent pattern.
Broadband noise is filtered through the network as shown in Figure 3. One capacitor,
C < 0.47µF, and one 0603 ferrite bead or inductor can be added (optional). This supply voltage filtering reduces the hot-
plugging inrush current. The supply noise must be < 100mV
