622Mbps, Ultra-Low-Power, 3.3V Transimpedance Preamplifier for SDH/SONET
________________General Description
The MAX3665 low-power transimpedance preamplifier for 622Mbps SDH/SONET applications consumes only 70mW at VCC = 3.3V. Operating from a single +3.3V or +5.0V supply, it converts a small photodiode current to a measurable differential voltage. A DC cancellation circuit provides a true differential output swing over a wide range of input current levels, thus reducing pulse-width distortion. The differential outputs are back-terminated with 50Ω per side. The overall transimpedance gain is nominally 8kΩ. For input signal levels beyond approximately 50µAp-p, the amplifier will limit the output swing to 250mV.
