MAX3941
General Description
The MAX3941 is designed to drive an electro-absorption modulator (EAM) at data rates up to 10.7Gbps. It
incorporates the functions of a biasing circuit and a
modulation circuit, with integrated control op amps
externally programmed by DC voltages.
The integrated bias circuit provides a programmable
biasing current up to 50mA. This bias current reflects a
bias voltage of up to 1.25V on an external 50Ω load. The
bias and modulation circuits are internally connected on
chip, eliminating the need for an external bias inductor.
A high-bandwidth, fully differential signal path is internally
implemented to minimize jitter accumulation. When a
clock signal is available, the integrated data-retiming
function can be selected to reject input-signal jitter.
The MAX3941 receives differential CML signals (ground
referenced) with on-chip line terminations of 50Ω. The
output has a 50Ω resistor for back termination and is
able to deliver a modulation current of 40mA P-P to
120mAP-P, with an edge speed of 23ps (20% to 80%
typ). This modulation current reflects an EAM modulation voltage of 1.0VP-P to 3.0VP-P.
The MAX3941 also includes an adjustable pulse-width
control circuit to precompensate for asymmetrical EAM
characteristics. It is available in a compact 4mm x
4mm, 24-pin thin QFN package and operates over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX3941 EAM driver consists of two main parts: a
high-speed modulation driver and an EAM-biasing
block. The clock and data inputs to the driver are compatible with PECL and CML logic levels. The modulation and bias currents are output through the OUT pin.
The modulation output stage is composed of a highspeed differential pair and a programmable current
source with a maximum modulation current of 120mA.
The rise and fall times are typically 23ps. The modulation
current is designed to produce an EAM voltage up to
3.0VP-P when driving a 50Ω module. The 3.0VP-P results
from 120mAP-P through the parallel combination of the
50Ω EAM load and the internal 50Ω back termination.
8
Polarity Switch
The MAX3941 includes a polarity switch. When the
PLRT pin is high or left floating, the output maintains the
polarity of the input data. When the PLRT pin is low, the
output is inverted relative to the input data.
Clock/Data Input Logic Levels
The MAX3941 is directly compatible with ground-reference CML. Either DC- or AC-coupling can be used for
CML referenced to ground. For all other logic types,
AC-coupling should be used.
Optional Data Input Latch
To reject pattern-dependent jitter in the input data, a synchronous differential clock signal should be connected to
the CLK+ and CLK- inputs, and the RTEN control input
should be connected to VEE.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
10Gbps EAM Driver with Integrated
Bias Network
(ZL) in parallel with the internal 50Ω termination resistor
(ROUT):
Pulse-Width Control
To program the desired bias current, force a voltage at
the BIASSET pin (see the Typical Application Circuit).
The resulting IBIAS current can be calculated by the following equation:
The pulse-width control circuit can be used to compensate for pulse-width distortion introduced by the EAM.
The differential voltage between PWC+ and PWCadjusts the pulse-width compensation. The adjustment
range is typically ±50ps. Optional single-ended operation is possible by forcing a voltage on the PWC+ pin
while leaving the PWC- pin unconnected. When PWCis connected to ground, the pulse-width control circuit
is automatically disabled.
Modulation Output Enable
The MAX3941 incorporates a modulation currentenable input. When MODEN is low or floating, the modulation/bias output (OUT) is enabled. When MODEN is
high, the output is switched to the logic 0 state. The
typical enable time is 2ns and the typical disable time
is 2ns.
Design Procedure
Programming the Modulation Voltage
The EAM modulation voltage results from IMOD passing
through the EAM impedance (ZL) in parallel with the
internal 50Ω termination resistor (ROUT):
VMOD ≈ IMOD ×
ZL × ROUT
ZL + ROUT
To program the desired modulation current, force a
voltage at the MODSET pin (see the Typical Application
Circuit). The resulting IMOD current can be calculated
by the following equation:
IMOD ≈
VMODSET
+ 37mA
11.1Ω
An internal, independent current source drives a constant
37mA to the modulation circuitry, and any voltage above
VEE on the MODSET pin adds to this. The input impedance of the MODSET pin is typically 20kΩ. Note that the
minimum output voltage is VEE + 1.9V (Figure 5).
Programming the Bias Voltage
As in the case of modulation, the EAM bias voltage
results from IBIAS passing through the EAM impedance
VBIAS ≈ IBIAS ×
ZL × ROUT
ZL + ROUT
VBIASSET
36.4Ω
IBIAS ≈
The input impedance of the BIASSET pin is typically
20kΩ. Note that the minimum output voltage is VEE +
1.9V (Figure 5).
Programming the Pulse-Width Control
Three methods of control are possible when pulse predistortion is desired to minimize distortion at the receiver.
The pulse width can be set with a 2kΩ potentiometer with
the center tapped to VEE (or equivalent fixed resistors),
by applying a voltage to the PWC+ pin, or by applying a
differential voltage across the PWC+ and PWC- pins. See
Table 1 for the desired effect of the pulse-width setting.
Pulse width is defined as (positive pulse width)/((positive
pulse width + negative pulse width)/2).
Input Termination Requirement
The MAX3941 data and clock inputs are CML compatible. However, it is not necessary to drive the IC with a
standard CML signal. As long as the specified input voltage swings are met, the MAX3941 operates properly.
Applications Information
Layout Considerations
To minimize loss and crosstalk, keep the connections
between the MAX3941 output and the EAM module as
short as possible. Use good high-frequency layout
techniques and multilayer boards with an uninterrupted
ground plane to minimize EMI and crosstalk. Circuit
boards should be made using low-loss dielectrics. Use
controlled-impedance lines for the clock and data
inputs as well as for the data output. Be sure to filter the
power supply with capacitors placed close to the IC.

Laser Safety and IEC 825
Figures 7 and 8 show simplified input and output circuits of the MAX3941 EAM driver.
Using the MAX3941 EAM driver alone does not ensure
that a transmitter design is compliant with IEC 825. The
entire transmitter circuit and component selections must
be considered. Each customer must determine the level
of fault tolerance required by their application, recognizing that Maxim products are not designed or authorized
for use as components in systems intended for surgical
implant into the body, for applications intended to support or sustain life, or for any other application where the
failure of a Maxim product could create a situation where
personal injury or death may occur.
Exposed-Pad Package
The exposed pad on the 24-pin QFN provides a very low
thermal-resistance path for heat removal from the IC. The
pad is also electrically ground on the MAX3941 and must
be soldered to the circuit board for proper thermal and
electrical performance. Refer to Maxim Application Note
HFAN-08.1: Thermal Considerations for QFN and Other
Exposed-Pad Packages for additional Information.
