GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MAX3901/MAX3902 are optimized for low-cost polymer-clad silica (PCS) and plastic optical fiber (POF) automotive receivers. These parts operate over an extended -40°C to +140°C (junction) temperature range. The MAX3901 features a 1.2µA to 1mA input range, a +3.3V or +5V supply voltage, operation from 8Mbps to 50Mbps, and a TTL output compatible with common automotive optical network interfaces. No filter capacitors are required in the optical subassembly, thus enabling a low-cost receiver design. The circuits are available in die and wafer form. o Operation Up to 50Mbps (MAX3901) o Operation Up to 150Mbps (MAX3902) o +3.3V or +5.0V Power Supply (MAX3901) o 1.2µAP-P Input Sensitivity o 1mAP-P Input Overload o Input Power Detect with Power-Reducing Standby Mode o Active Output Pulldown During Standby Mode (MAX3901) o Differential LVDS- or PECL-Compatible Output (MAX3902) o TTL-Compatible Output (MAX3901) o No Filter Capacitors Required in the Optical Subassembly Fe...
