AD ADN8820

EDFA and CW Laser Controller
ADN8820*
Preliminary Technical Data
FEATURES
Four Operational Modes Including:
Constant Laser Current
Constant Optical Output Power
Constant EDFA Gain
Constant Laser Power
High Power Efficiency: >90%
Three Built-In Photodiode TIAs
Adjustable Laser Diode and EDFA Protection Limits
Free-run or Synchronous Switching Frequency Modes
Adjustable Phase Delay for Synchornous Clock Mode
Optional Dithering Built-In
Programmable Dither Frequency and Amplitude
Output Power (COP), or Constant EDFA Gain (CG). Multiple
pump laser applications are easily supported by the ADN8820.
Common-cathode-to-ground and common-anode-to-VDD
configurations are also supported.
The ADN8820 has a high speed closed-loop control, making it
suitable for add/drop applications in telecommunication
systems. It has a low-current shutdown mode and a soft-start
feature to minimize power supply bounce on start-up.
Protection circuitry is built into the device. The protection
limits are easily adjustable and are used to set maximum output
current and voltage, optical output power, EDFA gain, and
pump or CW laser power.
The output stage consists of a high-efficiency PWM amplifier in
parallel with a high-speed linear amplifier. This provides the
fastest settling time response along with the lowest power and
heat dissipation. A pair of external MOSFETs on the PWM
amplifier provide output currents of up to 5A.
APPLICATIONS
EDFA Pump Laser Diode Control
CW Laser Bias Control
Raman Amplifiers
The ADN8820 is a versatile Continuous Wave (CW) and EDFA
laser diode driver and controller. It provides a low noise and
precise current control for driving a source or pump laser diode.
Three low-bias current TIAs are built-in. These allow
amplification for the laser back-facet photodiode and EDFA
input and output photodiodes. For CW laser applications, the
two unused TIAs can be used for etalon photodiode
amplification, allowing continuous wavelength monitoring.
It can be set to operate in one of four controller modes:
Constant Current (CC), Constant Laser Power (CLP), Constant
The ADN8820 is available in a 7 x 7 mm lead-frame chip scale
package (LFCSP) with a package height of less than 1 mm.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although these products feature
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
