Note 1:
Specifications at -40

C only.
Note 2:
Maximum value is specified at I
MOD
= 60mA, I
BIAS
= 100mA.
Note 3:
TX_FAULT is an open-collector output and must be pulled up with a 4.7k
to 10k
resistor.
Note 4:
Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 5:
V
CC
turn-on time must be
≤
0.8s, DC-coupled interface.
Note 6:
Gain stability is defined by the digital diagnostic document (SFF-8472, rev. 9.0) over temperature and supply variation.
Note 7:
Assuming that the laser diode to photodiode transfer function does not change with temperature.
Note 8:
Accuracy refers to part-to-part variation.
Note 9:
Deterministic jitter is measured using a 2
23
- 1 PRBS or equivalent pattern.
Note 10:
Broadband noise is filtered through the network as shown in Figure 3. One capacitor,
C < 0.47μF, and one 0603 ferrite bead or inductor can be added (optional). This supply voltage filtering reduces the hot-
plugging inrush current. The supply noise must be < 100mV
P-P
up to 2MHz.
