General Description
The i7511N is an integrated burst-mode/continuous mode laser driver and continuous mode Limiting amplifier that operates at data rates from 155Mbps up to 1.25Gbps. The laser driver accepts either positive-referenced emitter coupled logic (PECL) or current-mode logic (CML) data inputs and provides bias and modulation current for the laser diode. The device can switch the laser diode from a completely dark (off) condition to a full (on) condition (with proper bias and modulation currents) in less than 3ns. The i7511N incorporates DC-coupling between laser driver and laser diode.
