MAX24001
2.5Gbps Tx Burst-Mode Laser Transceiver
General D es cription
The MAX24001 is a complete burst-mode laser driver
transmitter and limiting amplifier receiver for use
within fiber optic modules for FTTx applications. A
fully compliant GPON/GEPON module with digital
diagnostics can be realized when used with a 2KB
EEPROM and suitable optics. Alternatively, a
microcontroller can be used in conjunction with the
MAX24001; however, this is not a necessity in order
to achieve SFF-8472 compliance.
The 2.5Gbps limiting receive path features
programmable output swing control, rate selection,
and OMA-based loss-of-signal detection. Functions
are also provided which facilitate the implementation
of APD biasing without the need for an external DC-
DC converter.
The burst-mode laser driver has temperature
compensated modulation control using a lookup
table. Closed-loop control of laser power incorporates
track ing error com pensatio n and has multip le options
for rapidly settling the laser power thus enabling fast
registration and shutdown on the network.
Diagnostics are enhanced with the inclusion of
programmable transmit signal detection during
bursts, and rogue ONU detection between bursts.
This is linked to a laser safety system which allows
the modulation and bias currents to be shut off in
response to a range of different fault conditions
detected on-chip.
The transmit and receive systems are independently
powered and can respond separately to the SLEEP
pin. T he MAX24001 is highl y configur able f rom either
EEPROM or low-cost MCU using a two-wire
interface.
