The SY88289AL low-power limiting post amplifier is designed for use in fiber-optic receivers. The device connects to typical transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs). The linear signal output from TIAs can contain significant amounts of noise and may vary in amplitude over time. The SY88289AL quantizes these signals and outputs CML-level waveforms.
The SY88289AL operates from a single +3.3V power supply, over temperatures ranging from 40 oC to +85 oC. With its wide bandwidth and high gain, signals with data rates up to 3.2Gbps, and as small as 10mV P-P, can be amplified to drive devices with CML inputs or AC-coupled CML/PECL inputs.
The SY88289AL generates a loss-of-signal (LOS) open-collector TTL output. A programmable loss-of-signal level-set pin (LOS LVL) sets the sensitivity of the input amplitude detection. LOS asserts high if the input amplitude falls below the threshold set by LOS LVL and de-asserts low otherwise. The enable bar input (/EN) de-asserts the true output signal without removing the input signal. The LOS output can be fed back to the /EN input to maintain output stability under a loss-of-signal condition. Typically, 3.5dB LOS hysteresis is provided to prevent chattering.
