ML01720 is a directly-modulated laser diode driver IC for 10 Gbps optical communication systems. To meet the XFP*1 requirements for small-size fiber optic transceivers which is becoming the industry standard, it comes with APC*2 and shutdown*3 functions all in a 4mm compact plastic package. This will make XFP transceivers more compact and lower priced than ever. |

Features |
|
|
|
4-mm SLP package
We succeeded in compacting the module into the industry's smallest 4-mm plastic-molded IC package while incorporating the APC and shutdown functions, that have been conventionally mounted on a transceiver board, into the driver IC. This saves lots of driver space for an XFP transceiver with a smaller footprint. |
|
Fast rise and fall times
ML01720 has a fast rise/fall time of 27/27 ps. It produces a high quality waveform with low jitter and low overshoot/undershoot and is capable of high-speed operations of up to 11.3 Gbps. |
|
Wide range of modulation and bias current
A wide modulation current range of 10 to 80 mApp and bias current of 5 to 100 mApp with a wide laser operating temperature range. |
