APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT
Figure 34 shows the typical application circuit for the ADN2526.
The dc voltages applied to the BSET and MSET pins control the
bias and modulation currents. The bias current can be monitored
as a voltage drop across the 1 kΩ resistor connected between
the IBMON pin and GND. The ALS pin allows the user to turn
on or turn off the bias and modulation currents, depending on
the logic level applied to the pin. The data signal source must be
connected to the DATAP and DATAN pins of the ADN2526
using 50 Ω transmission lines. The modulation current outputs,
IMODP and IMODN, must be connected to the load (TOSA)
using 50 Ω differential (25 Ω single-ended) transmission lines.
It is recommended that the components shown in Table 7 be
used between the ADN2526 and the TOSA for an example ac
coupling circuit. For up-to-date component recommendations,
contact your local Analog Devices, Inc., sales representative.
Working with a TOSA laser sample, the circuit in Figure 34
delivers optical performance shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16.
For additional applications information and optical eye perfor-
mance of other laser samples, contact your local Analog Devices
sales representative.
LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Due to the high frequencies at which the ADN2526 operates,
care should be taken when designing the PCB layout to obtain
optimum performance. Well controlled transmission line
impedance must be used for the high speed signal paths. The
length of the transmission lines must be kept to a minimum to
reduce losses and pattern-dependent jitter. The PCB layout
must be symmetrical, on both the DATAP and DATAN inputs
and the IMODP and IMODN outputs, to ensure a balance
between the differential signals. All VCC and VEE pins must be
connected to solid copper planes by using low inductance
connections. When the connections are made through vias,
multiple vias should be used in parallel to reduce the parasitic
inductance. Each VEE pin must be locally decoupled with high
quality capacitors. If proper decoupling cannot be achieved
using a single capacitor, the user can use multiple capacitors in
parallel for each VEE pin. A 20 µF tantalum capacitor must be
used as a general decoupling capacitor for the entire module. For
guidelines on the surface-mount assembly of the ADN2526, see

Assembly of Amkor’s MicroLeadFrame® (MLF®) Packages.
