10Gbps Clock and Data Recovery with Limiting Amplifier
General Description
The MAX3991 is a 10Gbps clock and data recovery (CDR) with limiting amplifier IC for XFP optical receivers. The MAX3991 and the MAX3992 (CDR with equalizer) form a signal conditioner chipset for use in XFP transceiver modules. The chipset is XFI compliant and offers multirate operation for data rates from 9.95Gbps to 11.1Gbps. The MAX3991 has 7mVP-P input sensitivity (BER ≤ 10-12), which allows direct connection to a transimpedance amplifier without the use of a stand-alone limiting amplifier. The phase-locked loop (PLL) is optimized for jitter tolerance and provides 0.6UI of high-frequency tolerance in SONET, Ethernet, and Fibre-Channel applications.
