♦ TX_DISABLE for SFP Compatibility
♦ Single +2.97V to +5.5V Power Supply
♦ Adjustable Temperature Compensation
♦ Adjustable Modulation Current
The MAX3967 is a programmable LED driver for fiber
op tic tra ns mitte rs op e ra ting a t d a ta ra te s up to
270Mbps. The circuit contains a high-speed current dri-
ver with programmable temperature coefficient (temp-
co), adjustments for LED prebias voltage, and a disable
feature. The circuit accepts PECL data inputs, and
operates from a single +2.97V to +5.5V power supply.
♦ Complementary Output Reduces Supply Noise
♦ Programmable LED Prebias Voltage
♦ Available in 24-Pin QFN or Die
The SFP LED driver can switch up to 100mA into typical
hig h-s p e e d lig ht-e mitting d iod e s . As te mp e ra ture
increases, the device’s modulation current increases
with a tempco that is programmable from 2500ppm/°C
to 12,000p p m/°C. The mod ula tion c urre nt is p ro-
grammed with a single external resistor.
The MAX3967’s LED prebias voltage is programmable
from 400mV to 925mV. The prebias circuit produces
peaking current, which improves the LED switching
speed.

Complementary current outputs help to maintain a con-
stant supply current, reducing EMI and supply noise
generated by the transmitter module. The MAX3967 is
available in die form, or in a 4mm x 4mm, 24-pin thin
QFN package.
*Dice are tested and guaranteed only at T = +25°C.
