150Mbps Automotive VCSEL Driver
General Description
The MAX3905 150Mbps automotive VCSEL driver
implements low-cost transmitters operating from 8Mbps
to 150Mbps at junction temperatures up to +140°C. The
device accepts single-ended TTL, differential PECL or
LVDS input data, and provides bias and modulation
currents for driving a VCSEL. The output is DC-coupled
to the VCSEL to minimize component count.
The driver provides temperature compensation to
VCSEL high and low currents. Adjustments of the bias
current, modulation current, bias-current temperature
coefficient, and center of the temperature-stable bias
current region are all programmable by wirebond
options. The power-reduction feature decreases output
modulation by approximately 50%. The data squelch
feature disables the VCSEL current when no data is
present.
The MAX3905 is available in die form and operates
from -40°C to +140°C junction temperature, over a +3.0V
to +5.25V supply range.

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.

Note 1:
These specifications are guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 2:
Pulse-width variation, pulse-width distortion, data-dependent jitter, and uncorrelated jitter are measured at 45Mbps per
MOST specification of physical Layer (revision 1.1).
Note 3:
Deterministic jitter is measured with a K28.5 pattern (0011 1110 1011 0000 0101). Deterministic jitter is the peak-to-peak
deviation from ideal time crossings, measured at the 50% crossings of the output. Differential data applied to input.
