The integrated circuit contains several unique functional blocks which makes it easily configurable for use with a variety of high performance LED devices. The part is fabricated using Motorola’s proven MOSAIC III advanced bipolar process. The logic is designed so that a data HIGH input results in the modulation current flowing through the IOUT pin to turn on the LED. • • • • • • • • • • LED DRIVER Differential Data Inputs 300MHz Operation 100mA Peak Drive Current Extremely Low Jitter Duty Cycle Distortion Compensation Adjustable Output Current Tracking With Temperature Thermally Enhanced 16-Lead SOIC Package 16 75kΩ Data Input Pulldown Resistors 1 +5V or –5.2V Operation D SUFFIX SOIC PACKAGE CASE 751B-05 VBB Reference Available The device incorporates open collector outputs with a capability of driving peak currents of 100mA. Since the output current switching circuitry simply switches current between the complementary outputs, the dynamic switching demands on the system power supply are greatly reduced. In addition, because the design is pure bipolar, the device current drain is insensitive to the data pattern and frequency of operation. The LED drive current is adjustable through the selection of an external set resistor, RSET. In addition, to allow for open loop compensation for the LED’s negative optical output power tracking over temperature, a circuit is included to provide an adjustable positive temperature tracking coefficient to the LED drive current. This is controlled through the selection of an external resistor, RTCO. The MC10SX1130 incorporates novel pulse stretching circuitry which is intended to compensate for the turn-on delay and rise and fall time asymmetry inherent in LED devices. The stretch circuitry can be used to pre-distort the input signal pulse width to minimize the duty cycle distortion of the transmitted optical eye pattern. The stretch circuitry supports three different selections of pre-distortion. This choice is accomplished through a unique ‘tri-state’ input which can be left open, tied to VCC, or tied to VEE to determine the pre-distortion amount. The device provides a VBB output for either single-ended use or as a DC bias for AC coupling the signal into the device. The VBB pin should only be used as a bias for the MC10SX1130 as its current sink/source capability is limited. Whenever used, the VBB pin should be bypassed to ground via a 0.01µF capacitor.

RSET Resistor to set LED drive current. This resistor sets the tail current of the output current switch and should be connected to the VEE plane. Since the RSET voltage compensation circuit is referenced to VEE, the RSET voltage will track 1:1 with VEE changes, thus the voltage across the RSET resistor will remain constant. RTCO1, RTCO2 Terminals for positive temperature tracking resistor. This resistor controls the temperature tracking rate of the voltage at the RSET pin, which in turn sets the LED drive current tracking. If the two pins are shorted together, the nominal tracking rate is 1.4mV/°C and when a 2kΩ resistor is connected across the pins, the nominal tracking rate is 4.9mV/°C.

MOTOROLA 4 High Performance Frequency Control Products — BR1334 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Introduction The MC10SX1130 is intended to be integrated into high performance fiber optic modules or used stand-alone to drive a packaged optical LED device. The wide frequency response of the device allows it to be used to support a variety of digital communication applications ranging from: • • • • OC1/3 SONET/SDH Links 100 MBit/s FDDI 155 MBit/s ATM 133/266 MBit/s FibreChannel To support such wide ranging application areas, the LED Driver incorporates a variety of unique features. These offer designers added flexibility that could not previously be realized in less integrated designs. LED Characteristics LED devices emit light when forward biased. The optical power emitted by an LED is determined by the amount of current flowing through the device. This relationship is a relatively linear function of the current, until the device saturates. In some ways, an LED device behaves much like a traditional small signal silicon diode, although the forward “ON” voltage of an LED is much larger and ranges from 1.0V to 2.0V. In addition, for a fixed amount of current, the optical power from the LED will decrease if the device junction temperature increases. Another behavior of most LED devices is that they have unequal turn-on and turn-off times. In developing an LED transmitter, the designer must wrestle with all these behaviors to develop a product that meets the design targets. LED Driver The MC10SX1130 LED Driver accepts a digital binary data stream which is processed by the driver circuitry to create a current waveform to modulate the LED device. The LED Driver contains circuitry to program the modulation current, pre-distort the input waveform to partially compensate for the LED turn-on/turn-off delay, and compensate for the negative optical output power tracking co-efficient. The LED Driver operates from a +5V supply for PECL applications or a –5.2V supply for traditional ECL systems. For further information on PECL, please consult “Designing with PECL Application Note”, AN1406/D available from a Motorola representative. Circuit Blocks Some of the key sub-circuits in the LED Driver are listed below: • • • • Input Line Receiver Pulse Stretcher Bias Control Circuitry Output Current Switch High Performance Frequency Control Products — BR1334 The data input circuitry has been realized as a traditional differential ECL line receiver. It can accept either differential 100K or 10KH style ECL or PECL depending on the supply voltage used. In addition, a VBB reference is provided for use in single ended applications. This reference is useful if the input signal must be AC coupled into the device. The pulse stretcher provides two choices of duty cycle pre-distortion. It is controlled by the input STRETCH signal. When the pin is left open, no pre-distortion is applied to the input waveform. If the pin is strapped to the upper or lower rail, then the output waveform low pulse width will be increased. In a +5V application, when the STRETCH pin is tied to +5V, the nominal pulse width increase is 155 ps and when it is connected to 0V, the nominal pulse width is increased by 310 ps. The bias control circuitry regulates the voltage supplied at the RSET pin of the output current switch. In addition, it implements a positive tracking circuit which provides open loop temperature compensation for the LED’s negative tracking coefficient. An external resistor connected between the RTCO1 and RTCO2 is used to select the rate of voltage change at the RSET pin. The output current switch is the final stage in modulating the LED. The emitter of the current source is pinned out so that an external resistor can be used to set the modulation current. This circuit is implemented using a fully differential gate where both collectors are brought out. As the LED is modulated on and off, the current switches from one collector to another. This architecture minimizes the switching noise inherent in some LED driver design topologies where the modulation current is actually turned on and off. Design Considerations Once the user has selected an LED, the driver circuitry should be optimized to match the characteristics of the LED. The three circuit blocks previously described allow the user to control the pulse width adjustment, LED drive current and temperature tracking rate. A very simple example may best illustrate the design process steps. An LED has been selected which has the desired optical output power when modulated with a waveform of 65mA. In addition, the LED has an output power tracking coefficient of –0.5%/°C. Thus for every 1°C rise in the case temperature of the LED, the output power will decrease by 0.5% of the nominal value. In addition, the LED forward voltage is 1.5V. First, the RSET resistor must be chosen to set the desired nominal modulation current based on the following equation: RSET = VSET/IMOD (Equation 1) The voltage at VSET is a function of the RTCO tracking resistor, so the desired tracking rate (VTR) must also be chosen. To determine this, the equation must be normalized to correspond to how the LED has been specified. Temp Co = VTR/VSET (Equation 2) The data sheet has three temperature tracking rates for different values of the RTCO resistor. By using the VSET values at 25°C and substituting those numbers into Equation 2, normalized tracking rates can be calculated. MOTOROLA 5 A specially designed thermally enhanced leadframe has been used to house the LED Driver. Below is a graph of the average ΘJA plotted against air flow. Normalized Tracking at 25°C Tracking %/°C Short +0.20 1 KΩ +0.52 2 KΩ +0.89 110 100 To match the LED chosen, a 1KΩ resistor can be used. Now that this is known, the value of the voltage at the VSET can be substituted into Equation 1 to determine the value of RSET resistor which, for this example is 10Ω. The Stretch circuit can be used to compensate for the turn-on/turn-off delay of the LED. The circuit has been designed for ease of use so the pin is designed to be strapped to one of the two power plane levels to select the pre-distortion value. If no pre-distortion is desired, the pin can be left open. In this +5V example, the maximum amount of pre-distortion is desired, so the STRETCH pin is connected to ground. In addition a resistor must be placed between IOUT and VCC. In selecting this resistor, just as in the case of the RSET, the resistor type should be chosen to dissipate the worst case power and derated for the worst case temperature. As a rule of thumb, the voltage drop across the resistor should match the forward voltage across the diode. The voltage can be larger to minimize the power dissipated on chip when the LED is not ’ON’. Although, the voltage drop across this resistor should not be greater than 2V. For this example: R @ IOUT = VF/IMOD IMOD(max) @85 °C + VSET + 855mV + 86mA 10W RSET R @ IOUT = 1.5V/86mA = 17Ω Because of the positive tracking circuitry in the LED driver, the modulation current will increase over temperature. It is important to now go back and re-calculate the numbers under the worst case environmental conditions to ensure that operating conditions have not been exceeded. Thermal Management LED devices tend to require large amounts of current for most efficent operation. This requirement is then translated into the design of the LED Driver. When large modulation currents are required, power dissipation becomes a critical issue and the user must be concerned about the junction temperature of the device. The following equation can be used to estimate the junction temperature of a device in a given environment: TJ = TA + PD * ΘJA TJ TA PD ΘJA MOTOROLA 6 Junction Temperature Ambient Temperature Power Dissipation Average Thermal Resistance (Junction-Ambient) (Equation 3) ΘJA ( °C/W) RTCO 90 80 70 0 100 200 300 400 500 AIRFLOW (LFPM) Figure 2. Typical ΘJA versus Airflow The power dissipation of the device has two components; the quiescent power drain related to the pre-drive circuitry, and the power dissipated in the current switch when driving the LED. Pd = Pstatic + Pswitching (Equation 4) The power dissipated in the current switch is a function of the IMOD current, the LED forward voltage, and the value of RSET. For example in a +5V application, the following equations can be used: Pstatic = VCC * ICC (Equation 5) Pswitching = (VCC-VF-VSET)* IMOD (Equation 6) Now to calculate the dissipated power on the chip for a nominal application. VCC = 5V VF = 1.5V VSET = 0.7V IMOD = 60mA ICC = 18mA so: Pd = 5 * 18 + (5 - 1.5 - 0.7) * 60 Pd = 258mW This number can be entered into Equation 3 along with the environmental information to calculate the nominal operating junction temperature. Because of the open loop feedback control in the bias control circuitry, the revised IMOD value must be determined given the tracking rate chosen so that the power dissipation can be re-calculated. For assessing product reliability, worst case values should be entered to calculate the maximum junction temperature. Reliability of Plastic Packages Although today’s plastic packages are as reliable as ceramic packages under most environmental conditions, as the junction temperature increases a failure mode unique to plastic packages becomes a significant factor in the long term reliability of the device. High Performance Frequency Control Products — BR1334 Modern plastic package assembly utilizes gold wire bonded to aluminum bonding pads throughout the electronics industry. As the temperature of the silicon (junction temperature) increases, an intermetallic compound forms between the gold and aluminum interface. This intermetallic formation results in a significant increase in the impedance of the wire bond and can lead to performance failure of the affected pin. With this relationship between intermetallic formation and junction temperature established, it is incumbent on the designer to ensure that the junction temperature for which a device will operate is consistent with the long term reliability goals of the system. Reliability studies were performed at elevated ambient temperatures (125°C) from which an arrhenius equation, relating junction temperature to bond failure, was established. The application of this equation yields the table of Figure 3. This table relates the junction temperature of a device in a plastic package to the continuous operating time before 0.1% bond failure (1 failure per 1000 bonds) The MC10SX1130 device is designed with chip power High Performance Frequency Control Products — BR1334 levels that permit acceptable reliability levels, in most systems, under the conventional 500 lfpm (2.5m/s) airflow.
