Recommended Drive Circuits
The circuit used to supply
current to the LED transmitter
can significantly influence the
optical switching characteristics
of the LED. The optical rise/fall
times and propagation delays
can be improved by using the
appropriate circuit techniques.

Figure 11 uses frequency
compensation to reduce the
typical rise/fall times of the LED
and a small pre-bias voltage to
minimize propagation delay
differences that cause pulse-
width distortion. The circuit will
typically produce rise/fall times
of 3 ns, and a total jitter
including pulse-width distortion
of less than 1 ns. This circuit is
recommended for applications
requiring low edge jitter or high-
