MAX3748A Datasheet | Maxim Integrated

19-2717; Rev 1; 7/03 MAX3748/MAX3748A EVAALVUAAILTAIOBNLEKIT pact 155Mbps to 3.2Gbps Limiting Amplifier General Description The MAX3748/MAX3748A 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 constantlevel current-mode logic (CML) output voltages with controlled edge speeds. A received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI) is available when the MAX3748/MAX3748A is bined with the MAX3744 SFP transimpedance amplifier (TIA). A receiver consisting of the MAX3744- and the MAX3748/ MAX3748A can provide up to 19dB RSSI dynamic range. Additional...
