The MAX3996 can be used in several configurations.
For modulation currents less than 20mA, Maxim recom-
mends the configuration shown in the Typical
Application Circuit. Outputs greater than 20mA could
cause the voltage at the modulator output to be less
than V
large currents, Maxim recommends the configuration in
Figure 9. A differential configuration is in Figure 10.
To reduce deterministic jitter, add a ferrite bead induc-
tor (L1) between the BIAS pin and the cathode of the
laser. Select L1 to have an impedance >100Ω between
f = 10MHz and f = 2GHz, and a DC resistance < 3Ω;
Maxim recommends the Murata BLM11HA102SG.
These inductors are also desirable for connecting the
OUT+ and OUT- pins to V
The IC is designed to drive a common anode laser with
a photodiode. A servo-control loop is formed by the
internal NPN bias-driving transistor, the laser diode, the
monitor diode (R
(Figure 11). The voltage at MD is stabilized to 1.1V. The
