The SY88902 is a high speed current switch for driving
a semiconductor laser diode in optical transmission
applications. The output current, or modulation current
IMOD, is DC current controlled by IRSET, current through
the resistor RSET. The output OUT is HIGH when output
enable is HIGH.
The device incorporates complementary open collector
outputs with a capability of driving peak current of 25mA.
The resistor REXT must be placed between /OUT and
VCC to dissipate the worst case power. RSER is
recommended to compensate for laser diode matching
issues.
The SY88902 utilizes the high performance bipolar
ASSET™ technology.
APPLICATIONS
■ 1.25Gbps Gigabit Ethernet
■ 531Mbps and 1062Mbps Fibre Channel
