Product details

2.5 Gbps single-channel laser driver — 20-TQFN footprint

The MAX3996CTP+ is a single-channel laser diode driver from Analog Devices, designed for fiber-optic transmitters operating at data rates up to 2.5 Gbps. It integrates the bias and modulation current paths needed to drive a laser diode in SFP or SFF optical modules.

Housed in a 20-lead WFQFN with exposed pad (4x4 mm body, 0.50 mm pitch), the MAX3996CTP+ demands a thermal-land pattern on the PCB that matches the package's exposed paddle for heat sinking. The 20-TQFN (4x4) supplier package designation confirms the same footprint as the standard 20-TQFN-EP. Surface-mount assembly with tube packaging — the tube orientation and pick-and-place nozzle must accommodate the 4x4 mm body.
