The DS1875 controls and monitors all functions for burst-mode transmitters, APD receivers, and video receivers. It also includes a power-supply controller for APD bias generation, and provides all SFF-8472 diagnostic and monitoring functionality. The combined solution of the DS1875 and the MAX3643 laser driver provides APC loop, modulation current control, and eye safety functionality. Ten ADC channels monitor VCC, temperature (both internal signals), and eight external monitor inputs (MON1–MON8) that can be used to meet transmitter, digital receiver, video receiver, and APD receiver-signal monitoring requirements. Four total DAC outputs are available. A PWM controller with feedback and compensation pins can be used to generate the bias for an APD or as a step-down converter. Five I/O pins allow additional monitoring and configuration.
