TZA3047BVH

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TZA3047 is a fully integrated laser driver for optical transmission systems with data rates up to 1.25 Gbits/s. The TZA3047 incorporates all the necessary control and protection functions for a laser driver application with very few external components required and low power dissipation. The dual-loop controls the average monitor current in a programmable range from 150 µA to 1300 µA and the extinction ratio in a programmable range from 5 to 15 (linear scale).
