i T3018E 12.5-Gb/s High-Gain RX Limiter Amplifier Description The i T3018E is a Ro HS-6-pliant limiting amplifier for use as a post amplifier in OC192 and STM-64 optical receivers. Differential signals as small as +/-6 m Vpp can be amplified to 2.2 Vpp differential. The device includes offset correction and output voltage control. Both AC and DC coupling are allowed at both input and output. The high sensitivity of the i T3018E allows the device to be used at the output of a transimpedance amplifier. ¾ 3 d B bandwidth: 10 GHz ¾ Differential gain: 50 d B ¾ Saturated output: 1.1 Vpp, each output into 50 ohms ¾ Input sensitivity 3.0 m Vpp at BER<1E-12 ¾ Single bias supply: -5.2 V ¾ Power consumption: 624 m W ¾ Bias current: 120 m A ¾ DC offset correction ¾ Amplitude voltage control ¾ Low RMS jitter ¾ Ro HS-6-pliant 4x4 mm QFN (MO-220) package Features .....
