Monitor Currents
CCBIAS
IBMON, IMMON, and IMPDMON are current controlled
current sources from VCC. They mirror the bias, modulation,
and MPD current for increased monitoring functionality. An
external resistor to GND gives a voltage proportional to the
current monitored.
When the laser is used in ac-coupled mode, the CCBIAS and
the IBIAS pins should be tied together (see Figure 7). In dc-
coupled mode, CCBIAS should be tied to VCC
.
Automatic Laser Shutdown
The ADN2848 ALS allows compliance to ITU-T-G958 (11/94),
section 9.7. When ALS is logic high, both bias and modulation
currents are turned off. Correct operation of ALS can be con-
firmed by the FAIL alarm being raised when ALS is asserted.
Note that this is the only time that DEGRADE will be low
while FAIL is high.
If the monitoring function IMPDMON is not required, the
IMPD pin must be grounded and the monitor photodiode
output must be connected directly to the PSET pin.
Data and Clock Inputs
Data and clock inputs are ac-coupled (10 nF capacitors recom-
mended) and terminated via a 100 Ω internal resistor between
DATAP and DATAN and also between the CLKP and CLKN
pins. There is a high impedance circuit to set the common-
mode voltage, which is designed to allow for maximum input
voltage headroom over temperature. It is necessary that ac
coupling be used to eliminate the need for matching between
common-mode voltages.
Alarm Interfaces
The FAIL and DEGRADE outputs have an internal 30 kΩ pull-
up resistor that is used to pull the digital high value to VCC
.
However, the alarm output may be overdriven with an external
resistor allowing alarm interfacing to non-VCC levels. Non-VCC
alarm output levels must be below the VCC used for the
ADN2848.
Power Consumption
The ADN2848 die temperature must be kept below 125oC. The
LFCSP package has an exposed paddle. The exposed paddle
should be connected in such a manner that it is at the same
potential as the ADN2848 ground pins. The θJA for the package
is shown under the Absolute Maximum Ratings. Power con-
sumption can be calculated using

Many laser diodes designed for 1.25 Gbps operation are pack-
aged with an internal resistor to bring the effective impedance
up to 25 Ω in order to minimize transmission line effects. In
high current applications, the voltage drop across this resistor,
combined with the laser diode forward voltage, makes direct
connection between the laser and the driver impractical in a 3 V
system. AC coupling the driver to the laser diode removes this
headroom constraint.
