These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device
placed in conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
BLOCK DIAGRAM
A simplified block diagram of the ONET4211LD is shown in Figure 1.
This compact, low-power, 4.25-Gbps laser driver circuit consists of a high-speed data path and a
bias-and-control block.
The function of the data path is to buffer the input data and then modulate the laser diode current according to
the input data stream.
The bias-and-control block generates the laser diode bias current, contains automatic power control (APC) to
maintain constant optical output power, generates a modulation current that can be temperature compensated,
and controls power on during start-up and shutdown after failure detection. The circuit design is optimized for
high-speed and low-voltage operation (3.3 V).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
HIGH-SPEED DATA PATH
The high-speed data path consists of an input buffer stage and a current modulator.
The input buffer stage takes CML-compatible differential signals. It provides on-chip, 50-Ω termination to VCC.
AC-coupling may be used at the DIN+ and DIN- inputs.
The laser diode current modulator consists mainly of two common-emitter output transistors and the required
driver circuitry. According to the input data stream, the modulation current is sunk at the MOD+ or the MOD– pin.
Modulation current setting is performed by means of the modulation current generator block, which is supervised
by the control circuit block.
The laser diode can be either ac- or dc-coupled. In either case, the maximum modulation current is 85 mA. The
modulation output is optimized for driving a 20-Ω load.
For optimum power efficiency, the laser driver does not provide any on-chip back-termination.
BIAS AND CONTROL
The bias-and-control circuitry consists of the bandgap voltage and bias generation block, the bias current
generator, the automatic power control block, and the supervising control circuitry.
BANDGAP VOLTAGE AND BIAS GENERATION
The bandgap voltage reference provides the process- and temperature-independent reference voltages needed
to set bias current, modulation current, and photodiode reference current. Additionally, this block provides the
biasing for all internal circuits.
AUTOMATIC POWER CONTROL
The ONET4211LD laser driver incorporates an APC loop to compensate for the changes in laser threshold
current over temperature and lifetime. The internal APC is enabled when resistors are connected to the IBMAX
and APCSET pins. A back-facet photodiode mounted in the laser package is used to detect the average laser
output power. The photodiode current IPD that is proportional to the average laser power can be calculated by
using the laser-to-monitor transfer ratio, ρMON and the average power, PAVG:
I PD [A] PAVG [W] MON[AW]
(1)
In closed-loop operation, the APC modifies the laser diode bias current by comparing IPD with a reference current
IAPCSET and generates a bias compensation current. IPD can be programmed by selecting the external resistor
RAPCSET according to:
4.69 V
R
[] 4.69 V APCSET
I
[A]
P
[W] [AW]
PD
AVG
MON
(2)
The bias compensation current subtracts from the maximum bias current to maintain the monitor photodiode
current. The maximum bias current is programmed by the resistor connected to IBMAX:
343 V
I
[A] BIASMAX
R
[]
BIASMAX
(3)
An external pin, MONB, is provided as a bias current monitor output. A fraction of the bias current (1/68) is
mirrored and develops a voltage drop across an external resistor to ground, RMONB. The voltage at MONB is
given as:
R
[] I
[A]
BIAS
V
[V] MONB
MONB
68
(4)
If the voltage at MONB is greater than the programmed threshold, a fault mode occurs.
MONP is also provided as a photocurrent monitor output. The photodiode current, IPD, is mirrored and develops a
voltage across an external resistor to ground, RMONP. The voltage at MONP is given as:

[V] R

[] I

PD
(5)
If the voltage at MONP is greater than the programmed threshold, a fault mode occurs.
As with any negative-feedback system design, care must be taken to ensure stability of the loop. The loop
bandwidth must not be too high, in order to minimize pattern-dependent jitter. The dominant pole is determined
by the capacitor CAPC. The recommended value for CAPC is 200 nF. The capacitance of the monitor photodiode
CPD adds another pole to the system, and thus it must be small enough to maintain stability. The recommended
value for this capacitance is CPD ≤ 50 pF.
The internal APC loop can be disabled by connecting a 100-kΩ resistor from APCSET to VCC and leaving PD
open. In open-loop operation, the laser diode current is set by IBIASMAX and IMODSET.
MODULATION CURRENT GENERATOR
The modulation current generator defines the tail current of the modulator, which is sunk from either MOD+ or
MOD–, depending on the data pattern. The modulation current consists of a current IMOD0 at a reference
temperature T0 = 60°C (set by the resistor RMODSET) and a temperature-dependent modulation current defined by
the resistor RMODTC. The modulation current can be estimated as follows:
I MOD[A] 265 V
RMODSET[]
1
24 630 ppm T[ oC] T 0[ oC]
R MODTC[]
(6)
Note that the reference temperature, T0, and the temperature compensation set by RMODTC vary from part to part.
To reduce the variation, IMOD can be calibrated over temperature and set with a microcontroller DAC or digital
potentiometer.
CONTROL
The function of this block is to control the start-up sequence, detect faults, detect tracking failure of the APC loop,
and provide disable control. The laser driver has a controlled start-up sequence which helps prevent transient
glitches from being applied to the laser during power on. At start-up, the laser diode is off, SDOWN is low, and
the APC loop is open. Once VCC reaches ~2.8 V, the laser diode bias generator and modulation current
generator circuitry are activated (if DISABLE is low). The slow-start circuitry gradually brings up the current
delivered to the laser diode. From the time when VCC reaches ~2.8 V until the modulation current and bias
current reach 95% of their steady state value, is considered the initialization time. If DISABLE is asserted during
power on, the slow-start circuitry does not activate until DISABLE is negated.
FAULT DETECTION
The fault detection circuitry monitors the operation of the ONET4211LD. If FLTMODE is set to a low level,
(hard-fault mode) this circuitry disables the bias and modulation circuits and latches the SDOWN output on
detection of a fault. The fault mode is reset by toggling DISABLE (for a minimum time of TRES) or by toggling
VCC.
Once DISABLE is toggled, SDOWN is set low and the circuit is re-initialized.
If FLTMODE is set to a high level (soft-fault mode), a fault is indicated at the SDOWN output; however, the bias
and modulation circuits are not disabled. The SDOWN output is reset once the fault-causing condition
disappears. Toggling DISABLE or VCC is not required.
A functional representation of the fault-detection circuitry is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Functional Representation of the Fault Detection Circuitry
A fault mode is produced if the laser cathode is grounded and the photocurrent causes MONP to exceed its
programmed threshold. Another fault mode can be produced if the laser diode end-of-life condition causes
excessive bias current and photocurrent that results in monitor voltages (MONP, MONB) being greater than their
programmed threshold. Other fault modes can occur if there are any I/O pin single-point failures (short to VCC or
GND) and the monitor voltages exceed their programmed threshold (see Table 1).

PACKAGE
For the ONET4211LD, a small-footprint, 4-mm × 4-mm, 24-lead QFN package is used, with a lead pitch of 0,5
mm. The pinout is shown in Figure 3.
To achieve the required low thermal resistance of about 38 K/W, which keeps the maximum junction temperature
below 115°C, a good thermal connection of the exposed die pad is mandatory.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
SELECT A LASER
In the design example according to Figure 25, the ONET4211LD is dc-coupled to a typical communication-grade
laser diode capable of operating at 4.25 Gb/s with the following specifications shown in Table 2.

SELECT APCSET RESISTOR
When the APC loop is activated, the desired average optical output power PAVG is defined by characteristics of
the monitor diode and by the APCSET resistor RAPCSET. The relation between the monitor photodiode current IPD
and the average optical output power PAVG is given by Equation 7:

(9)
Note that the monitor photodiode current IPD must not exceed 1.5 mA, corresponding to a minimum APCSET
resistor RAPCSET,MIN = 3.1 kΩ.
SELECT MODSET RESISTOR
Modulation current IMOD is dependent on the required optical output peak-to-peak power Pp-p or the average
optical power PAVG. IMOD can be calculated using the laser slope efficiency η and the desired extinction ratio re:

Using the laser diode parameters from Table 2 and assuming an extinction ratio re = 8 dB (≈6.3) for an average
optical power PAVG = 5 mW, the required modulation current results as:
I
MOD
2 5 mW 6.31

The modulation current is adjustable, with a selectable temperature coefficient TC according to the relation:

(12)
where T is the ambient temperature in °C and T0 is the reference temperature (T0 = 60°C).
The temperature coefficient TC of the modulation current is typically adjustable between 630 ppm/°C and 8300
ppm/°C.
For calculation of the required external resistor RMODSET for a given modulation current and a given temperature,
the formula can be modified as follows:

(13)
If 4000 ppm/°C is the desired temperature coefficient and the modulation current from the preceding example,
36.3 mA, is required at a temperature of 25°C, the MODSET resistor RMODSET is given by Equation 14.
4000 ppm

(14)
Note that the modulation current IMOD must not exceed 85 mA over the complete temperature range,
corresponding to a minimum MODSET resistor RMODSET,MIN = 3.1 kΩ.
SELECT MODTC RESISTOR
The RMODTC resistor is used to program a modulation temperature coefficient that can be used to compensate for
the decreased slope efficiency of the laser at a higher temperature. The temperature coefficient TCLD of the laser
can be calculated using the slope efficiency η1 at temperature T1 and η2 at temperature T2 as shown in
Equation 15:

(15)
As an example, for the laser in Table 2, the slope efficiency at temperature T1 = 25°C is η1 = 0.2 mW/mA. At
temperature T2 = 85°C, the slope efficiency is η2 = 0.15 mW/mA. The corresponding temperature coefficient
TCLD of the laser can be calculated:
0.15 mWmA 0.2 mWmA

(16)
The MODTC resistor RMODTC can be used to compensate the laser temperature coefficient TCLD in order to
maintain the same optical output swing within a range of 630 ppm up to 8300 ppm. For this, RMODTC may be
programmed as follows:
24 R MODTC (TC 630 ppm) o1 o C

(17)
To compensate for the decreased slope efficiency of the laser in Table 2, TC must be 4167 ppm/°C.
This leads to the following MODTC resistor RMODTC:

(18)
SELECT BIASMAX RESISTOR
The BIASMAX resistor RBIASMAX is used to limit the bias current applied to the laser diode.
To calculate RBIASMAX, the maximum threshold current at 85°C and end of life must be determined. The
maximum bias current for the dc-coupled interface can be approximated by Equation 19.

For the example laser diode, the maximum threshold current is 40 mA at 85°C. Therefore, RBIASMAX can be

LASER DIODE INTERFACE
The output stage of the ONET4211LD is optimized for driving a 20-Ω load. The combination of a damping
resistor, RD, along with the resistance of the laser diode, must be 20 Ω for impedance matching. The suggested
typical value for RD is 6 Ω to 15 Ω. A bypass capacitor of 10 nF placed close to the laser anode also helps to
optimize performance.
