NAME

IPINSET
FUNCTION
Temperature-Compensated Reference Output. VREF2 is internally connected to VREF1.
Monitor Photodiode Programming Input. Connect INPINSET to VREF1 or VREF2 through a
resistor to set the monitor current when using automatic power control (see
Typical Operating
Characteristics).
Failout Output. Active-low, open-collector TTL output indicates if automatic power-control
loop is out of regulation due to insufficient monitor-diode current (when VPIN is below the
2.6V threshold). Connect FAILOUT to VCC through a 2.7kΩ pull-up resistor.
Ground for Voltage Reference and Automatic Power-Control Circuitry
Noninverting PECL Data Input
Inverting PECL Data Input
+5V Supply Voltage for Voltage Reference and Automatic Power-Control Circuitry. Connect
VCCB to the same potential as VCCA, but provide separate bypassing for VCCA and VCCB.
Inverting Enable TTL Input. Output currents are enabled only when ENB+ is high and ENB- is low.
Noninverting Enable TTL Input. Output currents are enabled only when ENB+ is high and
ENB- is low.
Temperature-Compensated Reference Output. VREF1 is internally connected to VREF2.
Overshoot-Adjust Input. Connect to internal voltage reference through a resistor to adjust the
overshoot of the modulation output signal (see
Typical Operating Characteristics).
Bias-Feedback Current Output. Output from automatic power-control circuit. Connect to
I
BIASSET

Laser Bias Current-Programming Input. Connect to internal voltage reference through a resis-
tor to set bias current (see
Typical Operating Characteristics).
