Functional Description
The F0513005L is a high performance GaAs integrated laser diode driver for use in an optical transmitter circuit up to 3 Gb/s NRZ data rate. The F0513005L typically specifies rise time and fall time of 140 psec (10 % - 90 %). It features single -5.2 V supply operation, 1 to 50 mA presettable bias current and up to 50 mA modulation current while dissipating 650 mW is typical. A choice of three packages are available to match various application requirements: an 18-terminal leadless chip carrier (LCC) called F0513005L, an 18-lead metalbased flat package (MFP) called F0513005M, and a 20-lead plastic-molded QFP package called F0513005S.
