The LTC
®
5100 is a 3.2Gbps VCSEL driver offering an
unprecedented level of integration and high speed perfor-
mance. The part incorporates a full range of features to
ensure consistently outstanding eye diagrams. The data
inputs are AC coupled, eliminating the need for external
capacitors. The LTC5100 has a precisely controlled 50Ω
output that is DC coupled to the laser, allowing arbitrary
placement of the IC. No coupling capacitors, ferrite beads
or external transistors are needed, simplifying layout,
reducing board area and the risk of signal corruption. The
unique output stage of the LTC5100 confines the modula-
tion current to the ground system, isolating the high speed
signal from the power supply to minimize RFI.
The LTC5100 supports fully automated production with its
extensive monitoring and control features. Integrated 10-bit
DACs eliminate the need for external potentiometers. An on-
board 10-bit ADC provides the laser current and voltage,
as well as monitor diode current and temperature. Status
information is available from the I
2
C serial interface for feed-
back and statistical process control.
An internal digital controller compensates laser tempera-
ture drift and provides extensive laser safety features.
