155Mbps Low-Noise Transimpedance Amplifier
General Description
The MAX3657 is a transimpedance preamplifier for receivers operating up to 155Mbps. The low noise, high gain, and low-power dissipation make it ideal for Class-B and Class-C passive optical networks (PONs). The circuit features 14nA input-referred noise, 130MHz bandwidth, and 2mA input overload. Low jitter is achieved without external compensation capacitors. Operating from a +3.3V supply, the MAX3657 consumes only 76mW power. An integrated filter resistor provides positive bias for the photodiode. These features, combined with a small die size, allow easy assembly into a TO-46 header with a photodiode. The MAX3657 includes an average photocurrent monitor.
