i7032
+3.3V to +5.0V, 200Mbps Laser-Diode Driver
1. Introduction
1.1. General description
1.2. Features
The i7032 is the 3.3V to 5V, 200Mbps laser-diode
driver with automatic power control (APC). Both accept
differential PECL inputs and provide complementary
output currents. A temperature-compensated reference
voltage is provided for laser bias and modulation
current programming. This allows maximum 80mA to
be programmed for bias and modulation current with
two external resistors.
The i7032 provides adjustable temperaturecompensated modulation current to keep the optical
extinction rate within specifications over the operation
temperature range.
The APC circuits incorporated with a monitor
photo-diode and two external resistors maintain laser’s
average power. A failure-monitor output is provided to
indicate when the APC loop is unable to maintain
average power. To prevent laser diode damage, an
integrated soft-start circuit is provided. The output load
can be DC and AC coupled in both 3.3V and 5V
applications.
The i7032 is in 24-pin QFN package.
Rise / fall time less than 1 ns.

5. Product description
A monitor photodiode mounted in the laser
package is used to convert the optical power into
a monitor current. This current flow into the IPIN
input. The IPINSET current mirror draws current
away from IPIN node. When the current into IPIN
node equals the current drawn away by IPINSET,
the node voltage is set by 4/7xVcc reference.
When the monitor current exceeds IPINSET, the
IPIN node voltage will be forced higher. If the
monitor current decreases, the IPIN node voltage
is decreased. In either case the voltage change
results in a feedback current at IBIASFB node.
The i7032 consists of a laser bias generator
with automatic power control (APC), a
modulation current driver, and a reference
generator with temperature compensation.
5.1. Modulation circuitry
The modulator output stage is designed to
drive up to 80mA into 25Ω load in either ACcouple or DC-coupled mode. The amplitude of
the modulation current is set with a resistor at
IMODSET pin or with resistors at IMODSET and
IMODTC pins. Please refer to 4.3. Typical
operating characteristics figure 5 and figure 7 for
more information.
5.3. APC failure Indicator
The i7032 provides an APC failure indicator
to indicate an APC loop tacking failure. FAILOUT
is set low when the APC loop can no longer
adjust the bias current to maintain the desired
monitor current. This output is pulled up to Vcc
through an external 2.7KΩ resistor.
The input swing is required to completely
switch the output stage depends on both ROASDJ
and modulation current.
5.2. Automatic power control
The amplitude of DC current to the laser
diode is determined by setting the resistor at
IBIASSET pin (Please refer to 4.3. Typical
operating characteristics figure 4). To maintain
constant
average
optical
power,
i7032
incorporates a control loop to compensate for
change in laser threshold current over
temperature and lifetime.
5.4. Enable inputs
The i7032 provides complementary enable
inputs (ENB+, ENB-). The laser is disabled by
reducing the reference voltage outputs (VREF1,
VREF2). Both ENB+ and ENB- pins can not be
floating and only one logic state enables laser
operation (please refer to Table 1).

i7032
5.5. Slow-start
For the laser safety reason, the i7032 sets
start-up time for enabling a laser diode by an
external capacitor connected to ground.
5.6. Temperature compensation
The i7032 output current is programmed by
current mirrors. These mirrors each have a
2xVBE temperature coefficient. The reference
voltage (VREF1, VREF2) is adjusted 2xVBE to
greatly cancel these changes. This provides very
stable output currents with respect to
temperature.
Utilizing a resistor at IMODTC pin can
compensate the reduction in slope efficiency of
typical laser diodes caused by increased
temperature. This feature adds the temperaturecompensated portion of the modulation current.
Please refer to 4.3. Typical operating
characteristics figure 7 for more details.
6. Application information
6.1 Typical closed loop application
When the laser-diode/VCSEL includes a
monitor photodiode, the closed loop scheme
should be adopted. The voltage at IPIN is equal
to 4/7xVcc. The automatic power control loop
increases or decreases IBIASFB such that the
current from the monitor photodiode remains
constant. Knowing the monitor photodiode
current at the desired output power, we can
determine the RPINSET value from 4.3. Typical
operating characteristics figure 6.
The automatic power control circuit can
adjust the bias current 50mA from the initial set
point. This feature makes the laser driver circuit
reasonably insensitive to variations of laser
threshold from lot to lot. The bias setting can be
determined using the laser threshold current or
the midpoint of the highest and lowest expected
threshold value.
6.2 Setting modulation current
When
the
temperature-independent
modulation current is used, the external resistor
connected to IMODSET pin can be used to set
the modulation current and IMODTC pin should
be connected to VCC while the temperaturecompensated modulation is used, resistors at
the IMODSET and IMODTC pins set the
amplitude of the modulation current ( please
refer to 7. Typical application circuits, figure 9
and figure 10).
The resistor RMODTC sets the temperaturestable portion of the modulation current while the
resistor RMODTC sets the temperature-increasing
portion of the modulation current. By varying the
value of RMODTC with respect to RMODSET, the
positive temperature coefficient can be set from
2500 ppm/°C to 500 ppm/°C. Table 2 is the
reference value of how the modulation current
changes with resistance over temperature.
Figure 8 shows a family of curves which depict
the
relationship
between
temperature
coefficients and constant modulation currents.
6.3 Rise/fall time and overshoot
adjustment
The rise/fall time and overshoot of i7032 can
be adjusted by an external resistor at ROSADJ
pin, increasing this resistor slows the rise/fall
time and reduces overshoot in the modulation
signal. A smaller resistor value (around 1KΩ) is
recommended
to
an
initial
point.
