DESCRIPTION
The SY100EL1001 is a high speed current source for
driving a semiconductor laser diode in optical transmission
applications. The output current modulation is DC –
voltage controlled. The integrated circuit contains the
following functional blocks:
• Input Line Receiver
• D Flip-Flop
• Bias Control Circuitry
• Output Current Switch
A logic HIGH level at the data input results in the
modulation current flowing through the OUT pin on the
next rising edge of the clock. A logic HIGH level at the
master reset input will disable the modulation current.
The device incorporates complementary open collector
outputs with a capability of driving peak current of 75
mA.
The laser driver current is adjustable by selection of
RSET. The resistor REXT must be placed between OUT
and VCC to dissipate the worst case power. RSER is
recommended to fix laser diode matching issues.
The SY100EL1001 utilizes the high performance
bipolar ASSET technology.

D,D These differential ECL/PECL 100K
compatible inputs receive NRZ data.
CLK, CLK These differential clock inputs
MR This ECL/PECL 100K compatible input resets
the Laser Driver Logic - modulation current
transitions to zero when asserted high.
OUT, OUT Open collector outputs from the modulation
