General Description
The VSC7939 is a single 3.3V or 5V supply laser diode driver specially designed for SONET/SDH applications up to 3.125Gb/s. External resistors set a wide range of bias and modulation currents for driving the laser.
Data and clock inputs accept differential PECL signals. The automatic power control (APC) loop maintains a
constant average optical power over temperature and lifetime. The dominant pole of the APC loop can be controlled with an external capacitor. Other features include enable/disable control, short-circuit protection for the
modulation and bias inputs, short rise and fall times, programmable slow-start circuit to set laser turn-on delay,
and failure-monitor output to indicate when the APC loop is unable to maintain the average optical power. The
VSC7939 is available in die form or in a 32-pin TQFP package.

VSC7939
SONET/SDH 3.125Gb/s
Laser Diode Driver with Automatic Power Control
Detailed Description
The VSC7939 is a high-speed laser driver with Automatic Power Control. The device is designed to operate
up to 3.125Gb/s with a 3.3V or 5V supply. The data and clock inputs support PECL inputs as well as other
inputs that meet the common-mode voltage and differential voltage swing specifications. The differential pair
output stage is capable of sinking up to 60mA from the laser with typical rise and fall times of 60ps. This output
may be DC-coupled for 5V operation. To allow for larger output swings during 3.3V operation, the VSC7939
was designed to be AC-coupled to the laser cathode with a pull-up inductor for DC-biasing. This configuration
will isolate laser forward voltage from the output circuitry and will allow the output at OUT+ to swing above
and below the supply voltage VCC. The key features of the VSC7939 are Automatic Power Control, low power
supply current, and fast rise and fall times. The VSC7938 is another Vitesse laser drivers with similar features in
a 48-pin TQFP package. The VSC7938 does not have monitoring for modulation and bias currents. The
VSC7940 is a modified version of the VSC7939 capable of 100mA output currents.
Automatic Power Control
To ensure constant average optical power, the VSC7939 utilizes an Automatic Power Control loop. A photodiode mounted in the laser package provides optical feedback to compensate for changes in average laser output power due to changes that affect laser performance such as temperature and laser lifetime. The laser bias
current is adjusted by the APC loop according to the reference current set at APCSET by an external resistor.
An external capacitor at CAPC controls the time constant for the APC feedback loop. The recommended value
for CAPC is 0.1µF. This value reduces pattern-dependent jitter associated with the APC feedback loop and
guarantees stability. Because the APC loop noise is internally filtered, APCFILT is not internally connected and
does not need to be connected to any external components. The device’s performance will not be affected if a
capacitor is connected to APCFILT. If the APC loop cannot adjust the bias current to track the desired monitor
current, FAIL is set low.
The device may be operated with or without APC. To utilize APC, a capacitor must be connected at CAPC
(0.1µF) and a resistor must be connected at APCSET to set the average optical power. For open-loop operation
(no APC), a 100kΩ resistor should be connected between APCSET and GND. CAPC has no effect on openloop operation. In both modes of operation, resistors to ground should be placed at BIASMAX and MODSET to
set the bias and modulation currents.
Data Retiming
The VSC7939 provides inputs for differential PECL clock signals for data retiming to minimize jitter at
high speeds. To incorporate this function, LATCH should be connected to VCC. If this function is unused,
CLK+ should be connected to VCC, CLK- should be left unconnected, and LATCH should be connected to
GND.
Short-Circuit Protection
If BIASMAX or MODSET are shorted to ground, the output modulation and bias currents will be turned
off.

These pins sink a current proportional to the actual modulation and bias currents. MODMON sinks approximately 1/28th of the amount of modulation current and BIASMON sink approximately 1/35th of the amount of
the bias current. These pins should be tied through a pull-up resistor to VCC. The resistors must be chosen such
that the voltage at MODMON is greater than VCC - 1.0V and the voltage at BIASMON is greater than VCC 1.6V.
Enable/Disable
Two pins are provided to allow either ENABLE or DISABLE control. If ENABLE is used, connect DISABLE to ground. Is DISABLE is used, leave ENABLE floating. Both modulation and bias currents are turned
off when ENABLE is low or DISABLE is high. Typically, ENABLE or DISABLE responds within approximately 250ns.
Controlling the Modulation Current
The output modulation current may be determined from the following equation where Pp-p is the peak-topeak optical power, PAVE is the average power, re is the extinction ratio, and η is the laser slope efficiency:
IMOD = Pp-p / η= 2 * PAVE * (re-1) / (re+1) / η
A resistor at MODSET controls the output bias current. Graphs of IMODSET vs. RMODSET in Typical Operating Characteristics for both 3.3V and 5V operation describe the relationship between the resistor at MODSET
and the output modulation current at 25°C. After determining the desired output modulation current, use the
graph to determine the appropriate resistor value at MODSET.
Controlling the Bias Current
A resistor at BIASMAX should be used to control the output bias current. Graphs of IBIASMAX vs. RBIASMAX
in Typical Operating Characteristics for both 3.3V and 5V operation describe the relationship between the
resistor at BIASMAX and the output bias current at 25°C. If the APC is not used, the appropriate resistor value
at BIASMAX is determined by first selecting the desired output bias current, and then using the graph to determine the appropriate resistor value at BIASMAX. When using APC, BIASMAX sets the maximum allowed
bias current. After determining the maximum end-of-life bias current at 85°C for the laser, refer to the graph of
IBIASMAX vs. RBIASMAX in Typical Operating Characteristics to select the appropriate resistor value.
Controlling the APC Loop
To select the resistor at APCSET, use the graph of IMD vs. RAPCSET in Typical Operating Characteristics.
The graph relates the desired monitor current to the appropriate resistance value at APCSET. IMD may be calculate from the desired optical average power, PAVE,, and the laser-to-monitor transfer, ρMON, for a specific laser
using the following equation:
IMD = PAVE * ρMON

Laser Diode Interface
An RC shunt network should be placed at the laser output interface. The sum of the resistor placed at the
output and the laser diode resistance should be 25Ω. For example, if the laser diode has a resistance of 5Ω, a
20Ω resistor should be placed in series with the laser. For optimal performance, a bypass capacitor should be
placed close to the laser anode.
A “snubber network” consisting of a capacitor CF and resistor RF should be placed at the laser output to
minimize reflections from the laser (see Block Diagram). Suggested values for these components are 80Ω and
2pF, respectively, however, these values should be adjusted until an optical output waveform is obtained.
Reducing Pattern-Dependent Jitter
Three design values significantly affect pattern-dependent jitter; the capacitor at CAPC, the pull-up inductor at the output (LP), and the AC-coupling capacitor at the output (CD). As previously stated, the recommended
value for the capacitor at CAPC is 0.1µF. This results in a 10kHz loop bandwidth which makes the patterndependent jitter from the APC loop negligible.
For 2.5Gb/s data rates, the recommended value for CD is 0.056µF. The time constant at the output is dominated by LP. The variation in the peak voltage should be less that 12% of the average voltage over the maximum
consecutive identical digit (CID) period. The following equation approximates this time constant for a CID
period, t, of 100UI = 40ns:
τLP = -t / ln(1-12%) = 7.8t = LP / 25Ω
Therefore, the inductor LP should be a 7.8µH SMD ferrite bead inductor for this case.
Input/Output Considerations
Although the VSC7939 is PECL-compatible, this is not required to drive the device. The inputs must only
meet the common-mode voltage and differential voltage swing specifications.
Power Consumption
The following equation provides the device supply current (IS) in terms of quiescent current (IQ), modulation current (IMOD), and bias current (IBIAS):
IS = IQ + 0.47 * IMOD + 0.15 * IBIAS
For 3.3V operation, IQ is 15mA. For 5V operation, IQ is 20mA.
This equation may be used to determine the estimated power dissipation:
PDIS = VCC * IS
For example, if the device were operated at 3.3V with a 30mA modulation current and a 10mA bias current,
the supply current would be:
IS = 15mA + 0.47 * 30mA + 0.15 * 10mA = 31
This corresponds to a power dissipation of 3.3V * 31mA = 102mW.

Select Resistor for APCSET
The monitor diode current is estimated by IMD = PAVE * ρMON = 6mW * 0.04mA/mW = 0.24mA. The IMD
vs. RAPCSET in Typical Operating Characteristics shows the resistor at APCSET should be 5kΩ.
Select Resistor for MODSET
To ensure some minimum extinction ratio over temperature and lifetime, assume an optimal extinction ratio
of 20 (13dB) at 25°C. The modulation current may be calculated from the following equation:
IMOD = Pp-p / η= 2 * PAVE * (re-1) / (re+1) / η = 2 * 6mA * (20-1) / (20 + 1) / 0.4 = 27.1mA
The graph of IMODSET vs. RMODSET in Typical Operating Characteristics shows the resistor for MODSET
should be 8.5kΩ.
Select Resistor for BIASMAX
The maximum threshold current at +85°C and end of life must be determined. A graph of a typical laser’s
Ith versus TC reveals a maximum threshold current of 30mA at 85 °C. Therefore, the maximum bias can be
approximated by:
IBIASMAX = ITH-MAX + IMOD / 2 = 30mA + 27.1mA / 2 = 43.6mA
The graph of IBIASMAX vs. RBIASMAX in Typical Operating Characteristics shows the resistor for BIASMAX
should be 5kΩ.
Select Resistors for MODMON and BIASMON
Assuming the modulation and bias currents never exceed 120mA, the following equations provide values
for the resistor at MODMON, RMODMON, and the resistor at BIASMON, RBIASMON:
RMODMON = 1V * 28 / 120mA = 233Ω
RBIASMON = 1.6V * 35 / 120mA = 467Ω

Standard values for these values are RMODMON = 232Ω and RBIASMON = 464Ω. A voltage of 4.8V at
MODMON would indicate a modulation current of:
IMOD = (5.2V - 4.8V) * 28 / 232mA = 48mA
Wire Bonding
For best performance, gold ball-bonding techniques are recommended. Wedge bonding is not recommended. For best performance and to minimize inductance keep wire bond lengths short.
PCB Layout Guidelines
Use high frequency PCB layout techniques with solid ground planes to minimize crosstalk and EMI. Keep
high speed traces as short as possible for signal integrity. The output traces to the laser diode must be short to
minimize inductance. Short output traces will provide best performance.
