Notes:

[1] The operating temperature is defined as the temperature of the module case.

[2] The rating is referred to the ambient temperature.

[3] VAPD · VM3. Although implementation of a current limit is intuitive, it is not recommended as biasing below the

specified M = 3 voltage in the presence of a high optical power has been shown to cause device damage.

[4] Polarity Independent.

Class 2 ESD precautions must be observed when handling these devices.

The table below provides maximum and/or minimum values of

critical parameters which will not permanently damage the device,

but for which the operating specification may not hold
