Feedback on this product?

The VSC7940 is a single +5 V supply laser diode driver for SONET/SDH applications up to 3.125 Gbps. External resistors set a wide range of bias and modulation currents for driving the laser. Data and clock inputs accept differential PECL signals. The Automatic Power Control (APC) loop maintains a constant average optical power over temperature and lifetime. The dominant pole of the APC loop can be controlled with an external capacitor. Other features include enable/disable control, and failure-monitor output to indicate when the APC loop is unable to maintain the average optical power. The VSC7940 is available in a 32-pin TQFP package.
