For Example to get 40mA of modulation current, VP is set to 40mV (40mA x 1Ω = 40mV)
Supplies
The VSC8161 is designed to operate with VEE = -5.2V, VTT = -2.0V and VCC = GND (0.0V). However, the
part can be operated in an all positive supply environment, or a mixed positive and negative supply environment.
To operate in an all positive supply environment, each of the supply voltages must be shifted up by 5.2V
such that VEE will now be GND, VTT = +3.2V and VCC = +5.2V. To operate in a mixed positive and negative
supply environment, each of the supply voltages must be shifted up by 2.0V such that VTT will now be GND,
VEE = -3.2V and VCC = +2.0V.
Bear in mind that termination voltages must be adjusted to reflect any shift in supply voltages.
