8 / 15 page +3.3V, 622Mbps SDH/SONET Laser Driver with Current Monitors and APC 8 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Automatic Power Control To maintain constant average optical power, the MAX3669 incorporates an APC loop to compensate for the changes in laser threshold current over temperature and lifetime. A back-facet photodiode mounted in the laser package is used to convert the optical power into a photocurrent. The APC loop adjusts the laser bias cur- rent so the monitor current is matched to a reference cur- rent set by RAPCSET. The time constant of the APC loop is determined by an external capacitor (CAPC). To elimi- nate the pattern-dependent jitter associated with the APC loop-time constant and to guarantee loop stability, the recommended value for CAPC is 0.1µF. When the APC loop is functioning, the maximum allowable bias current is set by an external resistor, RBIASMAX. An APC failure flag (FAIL) is set low when the bias current can no longer be adjusted to achieve the desired average optical power. APC closed-loop operation requires the user to set three currents with external resistors connected between ground and BIASMAX, MODSET, and APCSET. Detailed guidelines for these resistor settings are described in the Design Procedure section. Bias and Modulation Monitors The MAX3669 includes pins to monitor the output levels of bias and modulation current. BIASMON and MOD- MON sink current proportional to laser bias current and modulation current, respectively. By monitoring the cur- rent through RMODMON and RBIASMON, it is possible to monitor the levels of bias and modulation current in the laser (Figure 3). Open-Loop Operation If necessary, the MAX3669 is fully operational without APC. In this case, the laser current is directly set by two external resistors connected from ground to BIASMAX and MODSET. Connect a 100k Ω resistor from APCSET to ground and leave MD open for open-loop operation. Enable Control The MAX3669 incorporates a laser driver enable func- tion. When ENABLE is low, both the bias and modulation currents are off. The typical laser enable time is 250ns. APC Failure Monitor The MAX3669 provides an APC failure monitor (TTL/CMOS) to indicate an APC loop tracking failure. FAIL is set low when the APC loop can no longer adjust the bias current to maintain the desired monitor current. This output is internally pulled up to VCC through a 6k Ω resistor. Short-Circuit Protection The MAX3669 provides short-circuit protection for the modulation, bias, and monitor current sources. If either BIASMAX, MODSET, or APCSET is shorted to ground, the bias and modulation outputs will be turned off. Design Procedure When designing a laser transmitter, the optical output is usually expressed in terms of average power and extinc- tion ratio. Table 1 gives the relationships that are helpful in converting between the optical average power and the modulation current. These relationships are valid if the average duty cycle of the optical waveform is 50%. Programming the Modulation Current In addition to being a function of RMODSET, the modula- tion current delivered to the laser (IMODL) also depends on the values of the series damping resistor (RD), the shunt compensation resistance (RFILT), and the laser diode’s resistance (see Typical Operating Circuit). The modulation current (assuming CFILT<<CD) into the laser diode can be represented by the following: Assuming RD = 5 Ω and rLASER = 5Ω, this equation is simplified to: IMODL = IMOD(0.67) For RD = 5.0 Ω and a laser resistance of approximately 5 Ω, see the Modulation Current vs. Modulation Set Resistor graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics and select the value of RMODSET that corresponds to the required current at +25°C. Programming the Bias Current When using the MAX3669 in open-loop operation, the bias current is determined by the RBIASMAX resistor. To select this resistor, determine the required bias current at +25°C. See the Bias Current vs. Maximum Bias Set I = I 2 2 + R + r MODL MOD D LASER 0 0 Ω Ω () ⎡ ⎣ ⎢ ⎢ ⎤ ⎦ ⎥ ⎥ Table 1.
