• Optimized for high-speed data transmission at rates up to 2.5 Gbps
• Integrated design reduces external component count for compact layouts

Applications

• Datacom optical transceivers
• Ethernet Gigabit interfaces
• SONET/SDH optical modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (LMG) against the official Microchip datasheet to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal requirements. Confirm current availability status as distribution channels may vary. Cross-reference RoHS compliance documentation if required for your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring 2.5Gbps burst mode laser driving capabilities. It is suitable for applications needing low power consumption during idle states. Consider the MLF package size for space-constrained designs. Verify that the 3.3V supply rail matches your system architecture before integration.

Part Context

This device belongs to the SY88216 series of laser drivers from Micrel, now part of Microchip Technology. The series is engineered for high-performance optical networking equipment. It serves as a key interface between digital logic and laser diodes in fiber optic communication systems.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-to-pin replacements such as the SY88216L or SY88216LMGTR if available. Verify functional equivalence with other 2.5Gbps burst mode drivers like the MAX3643 only after detailed electrical parameter comparison.
