The VSC7927 is a single 5V supply, 2.5 Gb/s laser diode driver with direct access to the laser modulation
and bias FET’s. Laser bias and modulation currents are set by external components allowing precision monitor-
ing and setting of the current levels. Data density outputs are provided to allow the user to adjust the laser bias in
high unbalanced data applications. Clock and data inputs are differentially terminated to 50 Ohms.

Calculation of the Maximum Case Temperature
SDH/SONET 2.5Gb/s
Laser Diode Driver
The VSC7927 is designed to operate with a maximum junction temperature of 125°C. The rise from the
case to junction is determined by the power dissipation of the device. The power dissipation is determined by
the V
SS
current plus the operating I
MOD
and I
BIAS
currents.
The power of the chip is determined by the following formula:
P
D
=
(-V

) + ((V

)
For example with:

*

780mW + 128mW + 64mW = 972mW
The thermal rise from junction to case is
θ
JC
*
P
D
. For the metal glass package,
θ
JC
= 32 °C/W. Thus the
thermal rise is:
32°C/W * 1.336W = 31.1°C
The maximum case temperature is:
125°C – 31.1°C = 93.9°C
The absolute maximum power dissipation of the device is at:

+ (5.5mA *

This will net a maximum junction to case thermal rise of: 1.43W * 32°C/W = 45.8°C
This situation will allow maximum case temperature of: 125°C – 58°C = 79.2°C
