The MAX3766 is a high-frequency product. The perfor-
mance of the circuit is largely dependent upon the lay-
out of the circuit board.
Use a multilayer circuit board with a dedicated ground
plane. Use short laser package leads placed close to
OUT+ and OUT- to keep output inductance low. Power
supplies should be capacitively bypassed to the
ground plane with surface-mount capacitors placed
near the power-supply pins.
1) Laser output is ringing and contains overshoot.

SINGLE-ENDED TERMINATION IS SHOWN. THE OTHER INPUT SHOULD BE
TERMINATED SIMILARLY, OR CONNECTED TO V
This is often caused by inductive laser packaging.
Try reducing the lead length of the laser pins. Modify
the compensation network to reduce the driver’s out-
put edge speed (see Design Procedure). This prob-
lem can also occur if the voltage at OUT+, OUT-, or
BIAS is below V
supply voltage, or reducing the modulation current.

2) Low-frequency oscillation on the bias-current
3) Modulation driver is not needed.
4) APC is not needed.
5) Laser edge switching speed is low.
The MAX3766 uses bondpads with gold metalization.
Make connections to the die with gold wire only, using
ball bonding techniques. Wedge bonding is not recom-
mended. Pad size is 4 mils (0.1mm) square. Die thick-
ness is typically 15 mils (0.38mm).
Figure 11 shows typical models for the inputs and out-
puts of the MAX3766, including package parasitics. If
dice are used, replace the package parasitic elements
with bondwire parasitic elements.
