DESCRIPTION
The ONET4291VA is a versatile high-speed multi-rate VCSEL driver for fiber optic applications with data rates up
to 4.25 Gbps.
The device provides a 2-wire interface which allows digital control of the modulation and bias currents,
eliminating the need for of external components.
The ONET4291VA includes an integrated automatic power control loop as well as circuitry to support laser safety
and transceiver management systems.
The part is available in a small footprint 4 mm × 4 mm 20-pin QFN package and it requires a single 3.3-V supply.
This power efficient multi-rate VCSEL driver is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C ambient
temperature.
BLOCK DIAGRAM
A simplified block diagram of the ONET4291VA is shown in Figure 1.
This compact, low power 1-Gbps to 4.25-Gbps multi-rate VCSEL driver consists of a high-speed current
modulator, a modulation current generator, power-on reset circuitry, a 2-wire interface and control logic block, a
bias current generator and automatic power control loop, and an analog reference block.
