270Mbps SFP LED Driver
General DescriptionThe MAX3967A is a programmable LED driver for fiber
optic transmitters operating at data rates up to
270Mbps. The circuit contains a high-speed current dri-
ver with programmable temperature coefficient (temp-
co), adjustments for LED prebias voltage, and a disable
feature. The circuit accepts PECL data inputs, and
operates from a single +2.97V to +5.5V power supply.
The SFP LED driver can switch up to 100mA into typical
high-speed light-emitting diodes. As temperature
increases, the device’s modulation current increases
with a tempco that is programmable from 2500ppm/°C
to 12,000ppm/°C. The modulation current is pro-
grammed with a single external resistor.
The MAX3967A’s LED prebias voltage is programmable
from 400mV to 925mV. The prebias circuit produces
peaking current, which improves the LED switching
speed.
Complementary current outputs help to maintain a con-
stant supply current, reducing EMI and supply noise
generated by the transmitter module. The MAX3967A is
available in die form, or in a 4mm x 4mm, 24-pin thin
QFN package.

MAX3967A
Detailed DescriptionThe MAX3967A provides a flexible current drive for the
modulation of fiber optic light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
The circuit is designed to be used with +3.3V or +5V
power supplies. The IC provides up to 100mA of modu-
lation current. An adjustable prebias current source sets
the LED prebias voltage. An integrated resistor provides
passive peaking and optical pulse-width compensation.
Figure 2shows a block diagram of the MAX3967A,
which comprises a reference-voltage generator, modu-
lation-current generator, input buffer with disable, pre-
bias-current generator, main output driver,
complementary output driver, and LED-compensation
network.
Temperature CompensationThe reference-voltage generator circuit provides two
voltage sources that create modulation-current tempera-
ture compensation. A positive modulation-current tem-
perature coefficient (tempco) is useful to compensate
for the temperature characteristics of typical fiber optic
LEDs. The first source has a temperature-stable output.
The second source has a temperature-increasing output
with a tempco of approximately 12,000ppm/°C (relative
to +25°C). A resistor-divider between the two reference
generators programs the modulation-current tempco.
For maximum modulation-current tempco, leave the TC
pin disconnected. For a tempco of approximately
3600ppm/°C, connect TC to TCNOM. To obtain the mini-
mum tempco, connect TCMIN to TC. Intermediate temp-
co values can be programmed by connecting an
external resistor (RTC) between TCMIN and TC.
Input BufferThe inputs are connected to the PECL-compatible differ-
ential input buffer. If left unconnected, IN+ is internally
pulled to a PECL low and IN- is pulled to a PECL high,
causing low current at OUT+. The input impedance of
IN+ and IN- is approximately 50kΩ.

PINNAMEFUNCTIONTCNOMShorting TC to TCNOM provides a modulation tempco of approximately 3600ppm/°C.
2TCA resistor (RTC) connected between the TC and TCMIN pins sets the tempco of the modulation
current. Leaving RTC unconnected provides the maximum tempco.

Pin Description
Modulation-Current GeneratorThe modulation-current generator circuit provides con-
trol of the modulation-current amplitude. This amplitude
is determined by the voltage at the MODSET pin and
external resistor RMODSET.
Do not connect bypass capacitors at the MODSET pin.
Capacitance at this pin increases high-frequency out-
put noise. The MON pin provides an optional modula-
tion-current monitor. The current sourced from the MON
pin is 1/96 of the modulation current. If used, the pin
should be connected to VEEthrough a resistor. The
resistance must be chosen so the voltage on MON
does not exceed 1.1V. If not used, leave MON open.
Prebias Current GeneratorA prebias voltage (VPREBIAS) can be applied to the
LED to improve switching speed. The prebias current
generator creates a current that flows through the 78Ω
prebias resistor in the output stage, creating a prebias
voltage. The prebias voltage can be adjusted by selec-
tively connecting pins PB1, PB2, and PB3 to VEE. Table 1
describes the functions of PB1, PB2, and PB3.
Output Current DriversThe modulation-current reference is switched and
amplified by the output stages.
LED package lead inductance causes ringing and
overshoot, which can be compensated with an RC filter
network. The MAX3967A includes 35Ωand 12pF of
