ADN2530 - lower limit data rate?

I'm working with the EVAL-ADN2530 board. When I give it a signal at a lower data rate my (<1 kHz) laser doesn't actuate from 0 to 100%, it's modulation is more like 90% to 100%, which doesn't give me the full range of the signal. I've noticed that as I increase the data rate my received signal becomes full on and full off during modulation. The data sheet gives an upper limit but I was wondering if there's a lower limit that I should avoid.

  • Great thank you! I'm interested in the 50 to 200 Mbps range so it sounds

    like this will still work for me. The 1 kHz was just for troubleshooting. I

    just wanted to make sure I knew which speeds should work so I'm not trying

    to troubleshoot in a range that the boards not designed for.
