LMC10NEJ Datasheet, PDF (13/15 Pages) Bookham, Inc. – 10Gb/s Compact InP MZ Modulator with DWDM Laser

Data Sheet
LMC10 Mounting Guidelines
The device must be attached to a heat-sink capable of
dissipating a minimum of 4W. The surface of the heat-sink
must be smooth (< 0.8 micron Ra) and flat (< 24.8 microns
over the area and not convex in form). Attachment screws,
thermal interface compounds or interface pads may be used
but must not exert stress upon the device. Refer to Bookham
applications document AN0117.
Note on Maximum Ratings and Handling Precautions
It is the nature of this device that unprotected semi-conductor
junctions are connected directly to external package pins.
Protection of these junctions would have an adverse effect on
the performance of the device or the flexibility in its
application and use. The user is requested to observe the
‘Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings’ in order to
prevent damage or destruction of the device. In particular
forward biasing the modulator, attenuator or power monitor
junctions will lead to catastrophic damage if the current or
voltage limits are exceeded. These junctions are also sensitive
to ESD and electrical transients. The laser is similarly sensitive
to reverse bias, ESD and electrical transients. These can lead
to catastrophic device damage. The user is requested to
ensure that operation of any control or bias circuits do not
introduce electrical transients or adverse bias conditions
during switch-on, switch-off or calibration and set-up
routines. Appropriate ESD precautions are required in both
production and R&D environments.
