SFP+ Controller with Digital LDD Interface
DS178
General Description
Features
The DS1878 controls and monitors all functions for SFF,
SFP, and SFP+ modules including all SFF-8472 func-
tionality. The combination of the DS1878 with Maxim
laser driver/limiting amplifier solutions supports VCSEL,
DFB, and EML-based solutions. The device provides
APC loop, modulation current control, and eye safety
functionality. It continuously monitors for high output
current, high bias current, and low and high transmit
power to ensure that laser shutdown for eye safety
requirements are met without adding external compo-
