1Gbps to 11.3Gbps, SFP+ Laser Driver
with Laser Impedance Mismatch Tolerance
Table 2. Circuit Response to Single-Point Faults
Note 1: Normal—Does not affect laser power.
Note 2: Supply-shorted current is assumed to be primarily on the circuit board (outside this device), and the main supply is col-
lapsed by the short.
Note 3: Normal in functionality, but performance could be affected.
Warning: Shorted to V
CC
or shorted to ground on some pins can violate the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
