MAX3964A Datasheet 125Mbps to 266Mbps Limiting Amplifiers

Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices)

General Description

The MAX3969 is a recommended upgrade for the MAX3964 and MAX3968.

The MAX3964A limiting amplifier, with 2mVP-P input sensitivity and PECL data outputs, is ideal for low-cost ATM, FDDI, and Fast Ethernet fiber optic applications.

Key Features

  • an integrated power detector that senses the input-signal power. It provides a received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI), which is an analog indication of the power level and complementary PECL loss-of-signal (LOS) outputs, which indicate when the power level drops below a programmable threshold. The threshold can be adjusted to detect signal amplitudes as low as 2.7mVP-P. An optional squelch function disables switching of the data outputs by holding them at a known state during an LOS condition.
