DS1873

19-4986; Rev 1; 11/09 KIT ATION EVALU E L B A AVAIL SFP+ Controller with Analog LDD Interface General Description The DS1873 controls and monitors all functions for SFF, SFP, and SFP+ modules including all SFF-8472 functionality. The DS1873 provides APC loop, modulation current control, and eye safety functionality. The DS1873 continuously monitors for high output current, high bias current, and low and high transmit power to ensure that laser shutdown for eye safety requirements are met without adding external components. Six ADC channels monitor VCC, temperature, and four external monitor inputs (MON1–MON4) that can be used to meet all monitoring requirements. MON3 is differential with support for common mode to VCC. Two digital-to-analog (DAC) outputs with temperatureindexed lookup tables (LUTs) are available for additional monitoring and control functionality. Features ♦ Meets All SFF-8472 Control and Monitoring Requirements ♦ Six Analog Monitor Channels: Temperature, VCC, MON1–MON4 MON1–MON4 Support Internal and External Calibration Scalable Dynamic Range Internal Direct-to-Digital Temperature Sensor Alarm and Warning Flags for All Monitored Channels ♦ Four 10-Bit Delta-Sigma Outputs with 36 Entry Temperature LUTs Laser Bias Controlled by APC Loop and Temperature LUT to Compensate for Tracking Error Laser Modulation Controlled by 72-Entry Temperature LUT Two Additional DACs Controlled by One 72-Entry and One 36-Entry Temperature LUT ♦ Digital I/O Pins: Five Inputs, Fi...
