Single +5V, Fully Integrated,
155Mbps Laser Diode Driver
________________General Description
The MAX3263 is a complete, easy-to-program, single
+5V-powered, 155Mbps laser diode driver with com-
plementary enable inputs and automatic power control
(APC). The MAX3263 accepts differential PECL inputs
and provides complementary output currents. A tem-
perature-stabilized reference voltage is provided to
simplify laser current programming. This allows modu-
lation current to be programmed up to 30mA and bias
current to be programmed from up to 60mA with two
external resistors.
An APC circuit is provided to maintain constant laser
power in transmitters that use a monitor photodiode.
Only two external resistors are required to implement
the APC function.
The MAX3263’s fully integrated feature set includes a
TTL-compatible laser failure indicator and a program-
mable slow-start circuit to prevent laser damage. The
slow-start is preset to 50ns and can be extended by
adding an external capacitor.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

FUNCTION
Temperature-Compensated Reference Output. VREF2 is internally connected to VREF1.
Monitor Photodiode Programming Input. Connect INPINSET to VREF1 or VREF2 through a
resistor to set the monitor current when using automatic power control (see
Typical Operating

Failout Output. Active-low, open-collector TTL output indicates if automatic power-control
loop is out of regulation due to insufficient monitor-diode current (when VPIN is below the
2.6V threshold). Connect FAILOUT to VCC through a 2.7kΩ pull-up resistor.
Ground for Voltage Reference and Automatic Power-Control Circuitry
Noninverting PECL Data Input
Inverting PECL Data Input
+5V Supply Voltage for Voltage Reference and Automatic Power-Control Circuitry. Connect
VCCB to the same potential as VCCA, but provide separate bypassing for VCCA and VCCB.
Inverting Enable TTL Input. Output currents are enabled only when ENB+ is high and ENB- is low.
Noninverting Enable TTL Input. Output currents are enabled only when ENB+ is high and

Overshoot-Adjust Input. Connect to internal voltage reference through a resistor to adjust the
overshoot of the modulation output signal (see
