Product details
Overview
ADN2847ACPZ-48 from Analog Devices is a 3.3 V dual-loop laser diode driver IC for high-speed optical transmitters, supporting data rates from 50 Mbps to 3.3 Gbps. It delivers bias current (2–100 mA), modulation current (5–80 mA), and photodiode monitoring (50–1200 μA) with closed-loop control of average optical power and extinction ratio-enabling SONET OC-48 and DWDM dual-MPD wavelength stabilization in telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the ADN2847ACPZ-48 datasheet, ADN2847ACPZ-48 pinout, ADN2847ACPZ-48 application, or ADN2847ACPZ-48 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-lead LFCSP package, dual MPD support, ALS-triggered shutdown, IDTONE supervisory tone capability, and compliance with ITU-T G.958 transmitter fail/degrade alarms.
Technical Context
The ADN2847ACPZ-48 implements two independent closed-loop control paths: one for average optical power (via PSET/PAVCAP) and one for extinction ratio (via ERSET/ERCAP), both using monitor photodiode feedback. Its dual MPD architecture-exclusive to the 48-lead variant-sums IMPD and IMPD2 currents for power control while enabling independent wavelength tuning via IMPDMON2.
It supports both ac- and dc-coupled laser interfacing, features programmable loop bandwidth selection (LBWSET), integrated alarm generation (FAIL/DEGRADE), and optional clocked data input (CLKSEL). The IDTONE pin provides 2–10% IMOD-level fiber identification tone modulation with 2× gain, requiring an external current sink.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate Range | 50 Mbps to 3.3 Gbps - supports SONET OC-48 (2.488 Gbps) and Gigabit Ethernet physical layer timing |
| Bias Current Range | 2 mA to 100 mA - sets laser threshold and CW output level; ALS forces <0.1 mA shutdown |
| Modulation Current Range | 5 mA to 80 mA - determines optical swing (P1−P0); compliance voltage up to VCC ensures headroom at 3.3 V |
| Rise/Fall Time | 80 ps typical - enables clean 3.3 Gbps eye opening with <15 ps pulse width distortion |
| Monitor PD Input | 50 μA to 1200 μA - accepts MPD current for APC/ERC loops; dual inputs (IMPD/IMPD2) only active in 48-lead package |
| Supply Current | 50 mA typical at 3.3 V - scales with IMOD (ICC ≈ 50 mA + 0.3 × IMOD), limiting thermal load in compact LFCSP |
| Alarm Threshold | Configurable via ASET resistor (1.2–25 kΩ) - sets FAIL at IASET/100, DEGRADE at 90% of that level per ITU-T G.958 |
Pinout & Package
The ADN2847ACPZ-48 is housed in a 48-lead, 7 mm × 7 mm LFCSP package with exposed paddle (EPAD) requiring connection to VCC or GND plane for thermal and electrical integrity. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation with Pin 1 indicator.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IMODP / IMODN | Laser modulation current outputs | Differential drive to laser anode/cathode; IMODP connects directly to LD, IMODN ties to VCC via matching resistor |
| IBIAS / CCBIAS | Laser bias current source and coupling control | IBIAS supplies DC bias; CCBIAS tied to VCC (dc-coupled) or IBIAS (ac-coupled) to configure laser interface mode |
| IMPD / IMPD2 | Dual monitor photodiode inputs | Accepts current from primary and secondary MPDs; IMPD2 enables DWDM wavelength control only in 48-lead variant |
| IDTONE | Supervisory tone modulation input | External current sink (50 μA–4 mA) modulates IMOD by 2–10%; causes eye distortion if active during transmission |
| LBWSET / PSET / ERSET / ASET | Analog loop configuration pins | Set loop time constants (LBWSET), average power (PSET), extinction ratio (ERSET), and alarm thresholds (ASET) via external resistors |
| FAIL / DEGRADE / ALS | Alarm status and safety control | Open-drain outputs with 30 kΩ internal pull-up; ALS is active-high shutdown forcing IBIAS/IMOD to <0.1 mA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual MPD support | Exclusive to ADN2847ACPZ-48: IMPD2 and IMPDMON2 enable independent wavelength control in DWDM modules without external summing circuitry |
| Closed-loop extinction ratio control | Eliminates need for laser-specific characterization; maintains SONET/SDH-compliant ER across temperature, aging, and device variation |
| Automatic laser shutdown (ALS) | Hardware-level safety feature asserting on command or fault; verified by FAIL alarm activation and <0.1 mA residual IBIAS |
| IDTONE supervisory channel | Provides standardized fiber identification tone (0.01–1 MHz) with 2× gain and user-defined amplitude-replaces discrete tone generators in WDM systems |
| Programmable alarm thresholds | ASET resistor sets FAIL/DEGRADE levels per ITU-T G.958 §10.3.1.1.2–3; hysteresis prevents chatter near trip points |
Applications
| SONET OC-48 Line Card Transmitter | DWDM Dual-MPD Laser Module |

FAQ
What is the function of the IDTONE pin on the ADN2847ACPZ-48?
The IDTONE pin on the ADN2847ACPZ-48 provides a dedicated supervisory tone modulation interface for fiber identification. When an external current sink (50 μA to 4 mA) is connected between IDTONE and ground, it injects a 2–10% amplitude-modulated tone onto the IMOD current path with 2× gain. This enables non-intrusive fiber mapping in WDM systems but must be disabled during active data transmission to avoid optical eye degradation, as confirmed in the ADN2847ACPZ-48 datasheet Figure 12 and Section "IDTONE (48-Lead LFCSP Only)".
How does the ADN2847ACPZ-48 implement dual-loop control for power and extinction ratio?
The ADN2847ACPZ-48 uses two independent analog control loops: the average power loop samples IMPD current and adjusts IBIAS via PSET/PAVCAP, while the extinction ratio loop compares P1/P0 ratios derived from IMPD and IMPD2 (48-lead only) and tunes IMOD via ERSET/ERCAP. Both loops operate continuously without host intervention, maintaining SONET/SDH compliance over temperature and laser aging. This dual-loop behavior is explicitly defined in the ADN2847ACPZ-48 Functional Block Diagram (Figure 1), General Description, and Theory of Operation sections.
Why is the ADN2847ACPZ-48 specified only in the 48-lead LFCSP package for dual-MPD functionality?
The ADN2847ACPZ-48's dual-MPD capability-including IMPD2, IMPDMON2, and internal summation for power control-is physically implemented only in the 48-lead LFCSP variant, as confirmed by the Pin Configurations section (Figures 7 and 8), Table 5 (Pin Function Descriptions), and "Dual MPD DWDM Function (48-Lead LFCSP Only)" subsection. The 32-lead version omits these pins entirely; thus, dual-MPD operation is not possible on any other package variant of the ADN2847 family.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for the ADN2847ACPZ-48 supply voltage and operating temperature?
The ADN2847ACPZ-48 has an absolute maximum VCC rating of 4.2 V and an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C, as specified in Table 2 (Absolute Maximum Ratings) of the official datasheet Rev. B. Exceeding 4.2 V risks permanent damage; operation outside −40°C to +85°C voids parametric guarantees. The thermal resistance θJA is 25°C/W for the 48-lead LFCSP, meaning die temperature rise is strictly bounded under defined PCB layout conditions.
How does automatic laser shutdown (ALS) interact with the FAIL alarm in the ADN2847ACPZ-48?
In the ADN2847ACPZ-48, asserting ALS (logic high) immediately disables both IBIAS and IMOD outputs, driving them below 0.1 mA, and triggers the FAIL alarm-per ITU-T G.958 §9.7 and §10.3.1.1.2. This behavior is explicitly documented in the "Automatic Laser Shutdown" and "ALARMS" sections. Critically, DEGRADE remains low while FAIL is high during ALS assertion, forming a unique diagnostic signature that distinguishes hardware-initiated shutdown from laser degradation events.
