General Description

The MAX3261 is a complete, easy-to-program, single +5V-powered, 1.25Gbps laser diode driver with com plementary enable inputs and automatic power control (APC). The MAX3261 accepts differential PECL inputs and provides complementary output currents. A temperature-stabilized reference voltage is provided to simplify laser current programming. This allows modulation current to be programmed up to 30mA and bias current to be programmed up to 60mA with two external resistors.
