2.5gbps, 3.3v Combined Transimpedance/limiting Amplifier Integrated Products

The MAX3866 combined transimpedance preamplifier and limiting postamplifier is intended for application in SDH SONET systems operating at 2.488Gbps. It oper- ates from a single +3.3V or +5V supply and provides a differential output signal. The differential outputs are each 50 reverse terminated (100 differential termi- nation) for low-noise and high-speed signal perfor- mance. The small-signal bandwidth and noise performance is specified for a source capacitance of 0.5pF. When the MAX3866 is used with the PIN photodetector, sensitivi- ties better than -22dBm CAN be achieved. The MAX3866 is equipped with a programmable TTL loss- of-power (LOP) output.
