MAX3869
The MAX3869 is a complete, single +3.3V laser driver
for SDH/SONET applications up to 2.5Gbps. The
device accepts differential PECL data and clock inputs
and provides bias and modulation currents for driving a
laser. A synchronizing input latch can be used (if a
clock signal is available) to reduce jitter.
An automatic power control (APC) feedback loop is
incorporated to maintain a constant average optical
power over temperature and lifetime. The wide modula-
tion current range of 5mA to 60mA and bias current of
1mA to 100mA are easy to program, making this prod-
uct ideal for use in various SDH/SONET applications.
The MAX3869 also provides enable control, two current
monitors that are directly proportional to the laser bias and
modulation currents, and a failure-monitor output to indi-
cate when the APC loop is unable to maintain the average
optical power. The MAX3869 is available in 32-pin TQFP
and small 32-pin QFN packages as well as dice.

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.
