The VSC7640 is a high-performance, four-channel VCSEL driver array
designed to operate up to 3.125 Gbps for use in 10 Gbps Very Short
Reach (VSR) parallel module applications. This device provides four indi-
vidual VCSEL driver channels, a serial programmable interface tempera-
ture sensor for each channel, a temperature sensor, an overcurrent sen-
sor and control for each channel, and monitoring logic for eye safety shut-
down and power-on reset. The VSC7640 is designed to interface to a
four-channel VCSEL array and to work in conjunction with a microcon-
troller. Unlike other competitive solutions the VSC7640 features a program-
mable negative peaking control to compensate for VCSEL slow tail cur-
rents. The VSC7640 is a die-level product that is fully tested at the maximum
operating speed to guarantee performance and module manufacturing
yields.

250 µm Channel Spacing
Sensitivity: –21 dBm Typical (at 850 nm)
High Transimpedance Gain: 70 kΩ
Low Power: 180 mA at +3.3 V Supply
Individual Per Channel Control
LOS Detect
Photocurrent Monitor for Optical Alignment
Photodiode Bias Filter
Available as Bare Die
The VSC7650 and VSC7651 are high-performance, four-channel receiver
arrays designed to operate up to 3.125 Gbps for use in 10 Gbps Very
Short Reach (VSR) parallel module or 10GBASE-LX4 Coarse Wavelength
Division Multiplexing (CWDM) applications. Each channel includes a
bias filter, a transimpedance amplifier, a limiting amplifier, an output
driver, and Loss of Signal (LOS) detect circuitry. Signal monitors for each
channel facilitate optical alignment. The VSC7650 and VSC7651 are
die-level products that are fully tested at the maximum operating speed
to guarantee performance and improve module manufacturing yields.
The VSC7650 and VSC7651 are pin and functional compatible; the
designer has the flexibility to choose the output level version as required
by system architecture and performance.
