11.2 Gbps Laser Driver

The VSC7983 is a 11.2 Gbps electro-absorption modulator driver for SONET/SDH and 10 GbE applications. The device provides selectable data retiming to improve jitter performance and controls for output bias voltage, modulation voltage, and duty cycle. Internal operational amplifiers preclude the need for additional off-chip circuitry. The unique architecture of the VSC7983 provides excellent output impedance which improves the match between the driver and load, further reducing output jitter. The VSC7983 is available in a 32-pin MicroLeadFrame (MLF) package, a high performance 32-pin metal-glass QFP package, or in die form.
