INTRODUCTION
This application note describes the ADN2841 laser diode
driver evaluation kit. The evaluation kit is a demonstration
board that provides electrical evaluation of the ADN2841.

BOARD DESCRIPTION
The ADN2841 is a dual-loop 50 Mbps to 2.7 Gbps laser diode
driver. To use the board in an electrical configuration, a
current mirror circuit is employed to close the average
power and extinction ratio control loops and thus takes
the place of the laser and monitor diodes. Mirror gain is
related to laser slope efficiency and MPD current. Resistors
R2 through R4 allow the user to modify the gain of the
current mirror such that the LDD can be used over the full
slope efficiency and modulation current range. The board
is initially set up to divide the sum of the bias current and
the average modulation current by 50, thus producing
the simulated monitor photodiode current. Note that the
circuitry provided for the current mirror does not simulate
the laser diode threshold current. Power, DEGRADE, and
FAIL LEDs are made available for monitoring purposes.
Power to the board is –5 V only.
QUICK START FOR ELECTRICAL OPERATION
To ensure proper operation in the electrical configuration,
verify the following:
1.
Jumper K1 is connected (shorted circuit).
2.
Jumpers K3 and K4 are connected to A; Jumpers K2
and K5 are connected to B.
3.
If the input data is clocked, it is necessary to enable
the clock select pin (CLKSEL). CLKSEL is enabled by
connecting K4 to B. If the clock inputs are not used,
or the input data is not latched, connect K4 to A.
4.
Adjust R21, the bias potentiometer, until the combined
series resistance of R21 and R33 is roughly 1.2 k.
REV. 0
5.
Adjust R20, the modulation potentiometer, until the
combined series resistance of R20 and R32 is 3 k.
6.
Set R19, the alarm set potentiometer, until the combined series resistance of R19 and R31 is 1 k.
7.
Power up the board by applying –5 V to the power
input SMA.
8.
Apply a differential signal, typically 500 mV, to J6 and
J7 (DATAN and DATAP).
9.
If the clock select pin is enabled by K4, apply a differential clock signal, typically 500 mV, to J4 and J5
(CLKN and CLKP).
10. The electrical eye and switching characteristics of the
ADN2841 may be observed using a digital communications analyzer or high speed oscilloscope through
the SMA Connector J2, the IMODP output.
11. The bias and modulation currents can also be monitored by observing IBMON and IMMON, respectively.
IBMON and IMMON are both a 1:100 ratio of IBIAS and
IMOD. Both are terminated with resistors and can be
viewed at Test Points T3 and T4 using a voltmeter or
oscilloscope.
12. IBIAS and IMOD will be set to approximately 20 mA
and 40 mA, respectively, using the resistance values
given above for R20 combined with R32 and R21
combined with R33. To change the average power or
extinction ratio, use the following procedure. Adjust
R21 to get the desired IBIAS. Note that when increasing
IBIAS and IMOD, users need to first adjust R21 such
that the current increases to the new IBIAS plus half
the increase intended for IMOD. Then adjust R20 to
get the desired IMOD. This will also have the effect
of returning IBIAS to its intended value. It may take a
couple of iterations to adjust the settings correctly.This
is due to the dual-control loop effect. It is important
to note that there is no threshold current adjustment
on this evaluation board and, therefore, continually increasing the modulation current, IMODN, may
result in the bias current, IBIAS, falling to zero. IBIAS
cannot go negative.The allowable resistance range at
the Power Set Input (PSET), the Extinction Ratio Set
Input (ERSET), and the Alarm Set (ASET) is between
1 k and 25 k. Resistors R31 through R33 ensure
that the resistance at these nodes never falls below
the minimum allowable value. If the node resistances
increase above 25 k, the ADN2841 will not operate
within its specifications.

NOTES
1. The bandwidth of the control loops will vary when the PSET resistor or current mirror gain is varied. Users' evaluation of the ADN2841 should cover a
range of settings of the PSET resistor and current mirror gain. This range should be equivalent to users' expected range of laser specifications and power
and extinction ratio settings.
2. It is important to note that the resistor values for R2 through R4 on this evaluation board will not support the full slope efficiency range of the various lasers
on the market. These resistor values may need to be changed to ensure the PNP current mirror has adequate headroom for operation at maximum and
minimum IBIAS and IMOD.
