MAX3799 Datasheet Sfp+ Multirate Limiting Amplifier And Vcsel Driver

Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices)

Overview: 19-4695; Rev 0; 8/09 .. 1Gbps to 14Gbps, SFP+ Multirate Limiting Amplifier and VCSEL.

General Description

The MAX3799 is a highly integrated limiting amplifier and VCSEL driver that operates up to 14Gbps, making it suitable for Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications.

By providing a selectable data path with a noise-shaping filter, the MAX3799 enables a module with 10G optics to be fully pliant with both 1000BASE-SR and 10GBASE-SR specifications.

Operating from a single +3.3V supply, this low-power integrated limiting amplifier and VCSEL driver IC enables a platform design for SFP MSA as well as for SFP+ MSA-based optical transceivers.

Key Features

  • Enables Single-Module Design Compliance with 1000BASE-SR and 10GBASE-SR Specifications.
  • -21.5dBm Optical Sensitivity at 1.25Gbps Using a 10.32Gbps ROSA (-19.7dBm OMA).
  • Low Power Dissipation of 320mW at 3.3V Power Supply.
  • Typical Electrical Performance of 14.025Gbps on Rx/Tx (Non-Retimed 16x Fibre Channel Solution).
  • 3mVP-P Receiver Sensitivity at 10.32Gbps.
  • 4psP-P DJ at Receiver Output at 8.5Gbps 8B/10B.
  • 4psP-P DJ at Receiver Output.
