SN74LVC3G17: Ringing during switching at high frequency

Part Number: SN74LVC3G17

We are using SN74LVC3G17 as driver for optical transmitter. The current is almost 24mA each channel.

During Switcting we observe a ringing upto 1V. 

Could there be any method to improve the signal integrity at high frequency.

Below is the Waveform:

CH1: Input from the Function Generator

CH2: Input to the SN74LVC3G17

CH3: Output of SN74LVC3G17 (Sink current 24mA each channel)

CH4: Optical receiver output

  • Hi Deepak,

    Can you send me a schematic of your circuit? Specifically I want to see what the load is. 

    Are you also able to send a more zoomed in scope shot of this?

  • Thanks for response.

    Above is the snap of the schematic which shows the load being driven by the buffer- HFBR-1414TMZ.

    Below is the zoom Version

    CH1: Input from the Function Generator

    CH2: Output of the SN74LVC3G17 (Ripple of 1V)

    CH3: Cathode of HFBR-1412TMZ

    CH4: Optical receiver output

    i can send you the actual documents over email if they are not clearly visible here

    Regards,

    Deepak

  • Hi Deepak, 

    Try adding some capacitance to ground at TP30, 31, 32. This will slow down the the rising edge on the drivers which should smooth out the input to HFBR-1412TMZ and eliminate the overshoot. 15 pF may be a good starting point and you can increase it to see if the signal will react better. 70 pF is about the max I would recommend.
