The SY88905 is an integrated Laser Diode controller for
the SY88902 Laser Driver and SY88903 Laser Receiver
that provides power control functions for a complete module
solution. The SY88905 is designed to provide the laser
diode with an independent DC threshold current (IBIAS)
source to assure optimum laser diode performance. The
SY88905 also provides buffered Loss-of-Signal (LOS) output
in PECL level. The device is designed for fast and accurate
calibration of the laser diode.
Once the optimal operating point is determined and set
for a specific laser diode, the threshold current (IBIAS) is
designed to automatically compensate for laser diode aging
and module temperature.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The SY88905 is an integrated control circuit for laser
diode modules intended for high-frequency fiber-optic
applications. The device is designed to operate with the
SY88902 laser diode driver providing Automatic Power
Control (APC) which provides bias current control and
monitor diode interface. The device also interfaces with the
SY88903 high-speed limiting amplifier providing chatter-free
Loss of Signal function.
Laser Diode Supply Current
The SY88905 provides the adjustable drive current for
the laser diode, DC bias.
Monitor Diode
The MD pin on the SY88905 provides low frequency
light intensity, laser power out feedback from the monitor
diode in the laser diode package. This feedback is used to
adjust the IBIAS level through the Automatic Power Control
circuit to maintain a near constant power output from the
laser diode.
