General Description
The GD16571 is a high performance low
power 2.5 Gbit/s Laser Driver with
optional on chip retiming of data.
The GD16571 is designed to meet and
exceed ITU-T STM-16 or SONET OC-48
fiberoptic communication systems re-
quirements.
The GD16571 is designed to sink a
Modulation Current into the IOUT pin and
a Pre-Bias Current into the IPRE pin. The
Modulation Current is adjustable up to
70 mA by means of the pin VMOD. The
Pre-Bias Current may be adjusted up to
50 mA by means of the VPRE pin.
Retiming of the data signal connected to
the pins DIN, DINQ is made by means of
a DFF clocked by an external clock sig-
nal at the data rate fed to the pins CKIN
and CKINQ.
A Mark-Space monitor is available on the
pins MARKP and MARKN. Together with
the symmetry adjustment pin (SYM) this
may be used to control the mark space
ratio of the output signal.
The GD16571 is implemented in a Sili-
con Bipolar process and requires a single
+5 V supply or a single -5.2 V supply.
The circuit is available in a thermally
enhanced 32-pin TQFP plastic package.
