3.1 Gbps Low Power Dual Closed Loop Burst Mode Laser Driver with Integrated Limiting Amplifier

The MALD-02103 is a low power, highly integrated, programmable burst mode laser driver and continuous mode limiting amplifier intended for ONU/ONT applications to 3.125 Gbps. The internal state machine will acquire and scale all the necessary monitoring parameters in real time and makes them available to the MAC or an external host controller. Use of the MALD-02103 will minimize power consumption, parts count, provide design flexibility and simplify manufacturing processes. The laser driver can be configured to control the laser with either open loop look-up tables or one of three different closed loop methods using monitor photodiode feedback (including MACOM proprietary Dual Closed Loop and Single Closed Loop (modulation) modes).
