+2.97V to +5.5V, 125Mbps to 200Mbps Limiting
Amplifier with Loss-of-Signal Detector
Features
♦ Pin Compatible with the Mindspeed
MC2045-2/MC2045-2Y
♦ 500µV Input Sensitivity (BER = 10-12)
♦ Compatible with 4B/5B Data Coding

The MAX3645 features an integrated power detector
with complementary PECL loss-of-signal (LOS) outputs
that indicate when the input power level drops below a
programmable threshold. An optional squelch function
holds the data outputs at static levels during a
LOS condition.
The MAX3645 operates from a single +3.3V or +5.0V
power supply over a -40°C to +85°C temperature
range. It is available in 16-pin SO and 16-pin QSOP

MAX3645
General Description
The MAX3645 limiting amplifier functions as a data
quantizer and is pin compatible with the Mindspeed
MC2045-2 and MC2045-2Y postamplifiers. The amplifier accepts a wide range of input voltages and provides
constant-level positive emitter-coupled logic (PECL)
output voltages with controlled edge speeds.

Detailed Description
The MAX3645 consists of gain stages, offset correction,
power detector, LOS indicators, and PECL output buffers.
See Figure 2 for the functional diagram.
Data Input
The data inputs have a single-ended input resistance of
4.8kΩ and are internally DC-biased to VCC - 0.87V (see
Figure 3). External capacitors are required to AC-couple the data signals. Pattern-dependent jitter is minimized by using coupling capacitor values large enough
to pass the lowest frequencies of interest (consecutive
ones and zeros) with the given input resistance.
Typically, 0.1µF coupling capacitors yield a -3dB frequency of 354Hz. Capacitor tolerance and input resis6
tance variation (3.3kΩ to 6.4kΩ) must be considered to
accurately calculate the -3dB frequency. Capacitor values should be chosen that set the -3dB frequency at
least a factor of 10 below the lowest frequency of interest. A capacitor value of 0.1µF is recommended.
Gain Stage and Offset Correction
The limiting amplifier provides approximately 74dB
(RTH = 100Ω) of gain. This large gain makes the amplifier susceptible to small DC offsets in the signal path.
To correct DC offsets, the amplifier has an internal feedback loop that acts as a DC autozero circuit. By correcting the DC offsets, the limiting amplifier improves
receiver sensitivity and power-detector accuracy.

The external autozero capacitor (CAZ), in parallel with
internal capacitance (CINT), determines the time constant of the DC offset correction loop. With CAZ = 0.1µF
(recommended), the -3dB frequency cutoff of the signal
path is typically 0.5kHz.
detector time constant, which determines the LOS
assert/deassert time. With C SD = 1nF the assert/
deassert time is in the range of 2.3µs to 80µs. This provides a long enough time constant to avoid false triggering due to variations in mark density.
Power Detector and LOS Indicators
Disable Function
The external resistor RTH sets the gain of the first limiting stage. This gain setting controls the threshold at
which the power detector indicates an LOS condition.
Power detection is accomplished by rectifying and lowpass filtering the data signal, then comparing it to the
programmed threshold voltage. A hysteresis of 2dB
prevents the LOS output from chattering when the input
signal is near the threshold.
When the DIS input is forced high, the disable function
is enabled, which holds DOUT+ low and DOUT- high.
The disable function is used to prevent the data outputs
from toggling due to noise when no signal is present.
The LOS output can be connected to the DIS input for
automatic squelch.
PECL Output Buffer
The data outputs (DOUT+, DOUT-) and the loss-of-signal outputs (LOS+, LOS-) are PECL outputs. The equivalent PECL output circuit is shown in Figure 4.
Applications Information
Programming LOS Assert/Deassert Levels
The appropriate value of RTH is determined by using
the Loss-Of-Signal Threshold vs. R TH graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
LOS Time Constant
The lowpass filter of the power detector comprises a
20kΩ on-chip resistor (RSD) and an external capacitor
(CSD). The CSD capacitor value determines the power-
PECL Output Terminations
The proper termination for a PECL output is 50Ω to
(VCC - 2V), but other standard termination techniques
can be used. For more information on PECL terminations and how to interface with other logic families, refer
to Maxim Application Note HFAN-01.0: Introduction to
LVDS, PECL, and CML.
Layout Considerations
For best performance, use good high-frequency layout
techniques. Filter power supplies, keep ground connections short, and use multiple vias where possible.
Power-supply decoupling should be placed close to
the VCC pins. Minimize the distance from the preamplifier and use controlled-impedance transmission lines to
interface with the outputs when possible.
