Features
Description
■
High data-rate laser diode/LED driver
■
Adjustable output current
■
Operation up to 3 Gbits/s
■
Single –5.2 V power supply
■
90 ps rise and fall times
The LG1625AXF is a gallium-arsenide (GaAs) laser
diode driver to be used with direct modulated laser
diodes in high-speed nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) transmission systems. The device is made in a high-performance 0.9 µm gate GaAs heterojunction FET
technology that utilizes high-density MIM capacitors,
airbridge interconnect, and NiCr film precision resistors.
The device contains three cascaded stages, operates with a single –5.2 V power supply and accepts
ECL level inputs. Voltages control the modulated output current and laser prebias current. The
LG1625AXF is available in a 24-lead hermetic, gullwing package.
Applications
■
SONET/SDH transmission systems
■
SONET/SDH test equipment
■
Optical transmitters
A test fixture (TF1006A) with SMA connectors is
available to allow quick evaluation of the LG1625AXF.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent or latent damage to the device. These
are absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in
excess of those given in the operational sections of this device specification. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Handling Precautions
Although protection circuitry has been designed into this device, proper precautions should be taken to avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling and mounting. Lucent employs a human-body model (HBM)
and charged-device model (CDM) for ESD-susceptibility testing and protection design evaluation. ESD voltage
thresholds are dependent on the circuit parameters used in the defined model. No industry-wide standard has
been adopted for the CDM. However, a standard HBM (resistance = 1500 Ω, capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used
and, therefore, can be used for comparison purposes. The HBM ESD threshold presented here was obtained by
using these circuit parameters.
Table 3. ESD Threshold Voltage

Voltage
LG1625AXF
≥200 V
Mounting and Connections
Certain precautions must be taken when using solder. For installation using a constant temperature solder, temperatures of under 300 °C may be employed for periods of time up to 5 seconds, maximum. For installation with a soldering iron (battery operated or nonswitching only), the soldering tip temperature should not be greater than 300 °C
and the soldering time for each lead must not exceed 5 seconds.

LG1625AXF Application Notes
■
■
VSS bypass capacitors should be mounted close to the package.
5000 Ω potentiometer is typically set for 2500 Ω. This establishes an approximate –1.3 V VTH which will track
with VSS.
■
Mark density (MK and MK) outputs are terminated with 1 kΩ pull-up resistors.
■
IMOD and IPRE can be measured and used to control VMOD and VPRE.

Test Fixture Functional Description
The TF1006A test fixture is used to characterize 24-lead gullwing packages for high-speed fiber-optic communications. The fixture is a metallized substrate (PTFE filled material) fastened to a brass base. The package leads make
contact to the microstrip lines on the fixture through use of a pressure ring and two thumb screws.
Three RF connectors are provided for connections to the input and outputs. BNC connectors are provided on soldered leads for dc bias lines.
The TF1006A is preassembled and fully tested prior to shipment.

■
Due to possible stress during shipment, SMA connectors may be misaligned.
■
Check each SMA for continuity.
■
If necessary, realign and retighten with a 5/64 in. hex key wrench.
Instructions for Use of Test Fixture
A pair of flat-tip tweezers can be used to insert or remove a package from the test fixture. Always wear a grounding
strap to prevent ESD.
1. To insert a package, remove the two thumb screws and gently lift the pressure ring off of the test fixture.
2. Place the pressure ring, cavity side up, on a flat ESD safe surface.
3. Connect the metal tube to a suitable vacuum source with flexible tubing.
4. Place the package, lid down, on a flat ESD safe surface. Locate pin 1 on the package.
