ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (continued)
(V
CC
= +2.97V to +3.63V, T
A
= -40°C to +85°C. Typical values at V
CC
= +3.3V, I
BIAS
= 20mA, I
MOD
= 30mA, T
A
= +25°C, unless
otherwise noted.) (Note 1)
Note 1: Specifications at -40°C are guaranteed by design and characterization. Dice are tested at T
A
= +25°C only.
Note 2: Maximum value is specified at I
MOD
= 60mA, I
BIAS
= 100mA.
Note 3: TX_FAULT is an open-collector output and must be pulled up with a 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ resistor.
Note 4: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 5: V
CC
turn-on time must be ≤ 0.8s, DC-coupled interface.
Note 6: Gain stability is defined by the digital diagnostic document (SFF-8472, rev. 9.0) over temperature and supply variation.
Note 7: Assuming that the laser diode to photodiode transfer function does not change with temperature.
Note 8: Accuracy refers to part-to-part variation.
Note 9: Deterministic jitter is measured using a 2
23
- 1 PRBS or equivalent pattern.
Note 10: Broadband noise is filtered through the network as shown in Figure 3. One capacitor,
C < 0.47µF, and one 0603 ferrite bead or inductor can be added (optional). This supply voltage filtering reduces the hot-
plugging inrush current. The supply noise must be < 100mV
P-P
up to 2MHz.
