MAX3746 Overview
The MAX3746 multirate limiting amplifier functions as a data quantizer for SONET, Fibre-Channel, and Gigabit Ethernet optical receivers. The amplifier accepts a wide range of input voltages and provides selectable-level, current-mode logic (CML) output voltages with controlled edge speeds. A received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI) is available when the MAX3746 is DC-coupled to the MAX3744/MAX3724 SFP...
