A received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI) is available
when the MAX3748/MAX3748A is combined with the
MAX3744 SFP transimpedance amplifier (TIA). A receiver
consisting of the MAX3744* and the MAX3748/
MAX3748A can provide up to 19dB RSSI dynamic range.
Additional features include a programmable loss-of-signal
(LOS) detect, an optional disable function (DISABLE),
and an output signal polarity reversal (OUTPOL). Output
disable can be used to implement squelch.
The combination of the MAX3748/MAX3748A and the
MAX3744 allows for the implementation of all the smallform-factor SFF-8472 digital diagnostic specifications
using a standard 4-pin TO-46 header. The MAX3748/
MAX3748A is packaged in a 3mm ✕ 3mm 16-pin QFN
package with an exposed pad.

Gigabit Ethernet optical receivers. The amplifier accepts
a wide range of input voltages and provides constantlevel current-mode logic (CML) output voltages with controlled edge speeds.

Between sensitivity and overload, all AC specifications are met.
Guaranteed by design and characterization.
The deterministic jitter caused by this filter is not included in the DJ generation specifications (input).
223 - 1 PRBS pattern was substituted by K28.5 pattern to determine the high-speed portion of the deterministic jitter. The
low-speed portion of the DJ (baseline wander) was obtained by measuring the eye width difference between outputs generated using K28.5 and 223 - 1 PRBS patterns.
Random jitter was measured without using a filter at the input.
The supply current measurement excludes the CML output currents by connecting the CML outputs to a separate VCC
(see Figure 1).
Unless otherwise specified, the pattern for all LOS detect specifications is 223 - 1 PRBS.
The signal at the input is switched between two amplitudes, Signal_ON and Signal_OFF, as shown in Figure 2.
ICM_INPUT is the input common mode. IRSSI is the current at the RSSI output.
Stability is defined as variation over temperature and power supply with respect to the typical gain of the part.

Offset Correction Loop
The MAX3748/MAX3748A is susceptible to DC offsets
in the signal path because it has high gain. In communication systems using NRZ data with a 50% duty
cycle, pulse-width distortion present in the signal or
generated in the transimpedance amplifier appears as
an input offset and is reduced by the offset correction
loop. For Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications, no capacitor is required. For SONET applications,
CAZ = 0.1µF is recommended. This capacitor determines the lower 3dB frequency of the data path.
CML Output Buffer
The MAX3748/MAX3748A limiting amplifier’s CML output provides high tolerance to impedance mismatches
and inductive connectors. The output current is approximately 18mA. The output is disabled by connecting the
DISABLE pin to VCC. If the LOS pin is connected to the
DISABLE pin, the outputs OUT+ and OUT- are at a static voltage (squelch) whenever the input signal level
drops below the LOS threshold. The output buffer can
be AC- or DC-coupled to the load (Figure 4).
Power-Detect and
Loss-of-Signal Indicator
The MAX3748/MAX3748A is equipped with an LOS circuitry, which indicates when the input signal is below a
programmable threshold, set by resistor RTH at the TH
pin (see Typical Operating Characteristics for appropriate resistor sizing). An averaging peak-power detector
compares the input signal amplitude with this threshold
and feeds the signal detect information to the LOS output, which is open collector. Two control voltages,
VASSERT and VDEASSERT, define the LOS assert and

the programmed threshold, approximately 2dB of hysteresis is built into the LOS assert/deassert function.
Once asserted, LOS is not deasserted until the input
amplitude rises to the required level (V DEASSERT )
(Figure 5).
Design Procedure

External resistor RTH programs the LOS threshold. See

Select the Coupling Capacitor
When AC-coupling is desired, coupling capacitors CIN
and COUT should be selected to minimize the receiver’s
deterministic jitter. Jitter is decreased as the input lowfrequency cutoff (fIN) is decreased:
fIN = 1 / [2π(50)(CIN)]
For ATM/SONET or other applications using scrambled
NRZ data, select (CIN, COUT) ≥ 0.1µF, which provides
fIN < 32kHz. For Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, or
other applications using 8B/10B data coding, select
(CIN, COUT) ≥ 0.01µF, which provides fIN < 320kHz.
Refer to Application Note HFAN-1.1: Choosing ACCoupling Capacitors.
Select the Offset-Correction Capacitor
The capacitor between CAZ1 and CAZ2 determines the
time constant of the signal path DC offset cancellation
loop. To maintain stability, it is important to keep a onedecade separation between fIN and the low-frequency
cutoff (fOC) associated with the DC offset cancellation
circuit. For ATM/SONET or other applications using
scrambled NRZ data, fIN < 32kHz, so fOCMAX < 3.2kHz.
Therefore, CAZ = 0.1µF (fOC = 2kHz). For Fibre Channel
or Gigabit Ethernet applications, leave pins CAZ1 and
CAZ2 open.
The MAX3744 preamp measures the average photodiode current and provides the information to the output
common mode. The MAX3748/MAX3748A RSSI detect
block senses the common-mode DC level of input signals IN+ and IN- and provides a ground-referenced output signal (RSSI) proportional to the photodiode current.
The advantage of this implementation is that it allows the
TIA to be packaged in a low-cost conventional 4-pin TO46 header.
The MAX3748/MAX3748A RSSI output is connected to
an analog input channel of the DS1858/DS1859 SFP
controller to convert the analog information into a 16-bit
word. The DS1858/DS1859 provide the receive-power
information to the host board of the optical receiver
through a 2-wire interface. The DS1859 allows for internal
calibration of the receive-power monitor.
The MAX3744 and the MAX3748/MAX3748A have been
optimized to achieve RSSI stability of 2.5dB within the
range of 6µA to 500µA of average input photodiode
current. To achieve the best accuracy, Maxim recommends receive power calibration at the low end (6µA)
and the high end (500µA) of the required range; see
the RSSI Current Gain graph in the Typical Operating
Characteristics.
Connecting to the DS1858/DS1859
For best use of the RSSI monitor, capacitor C1 and
resistor R1 shown in the first Typical Application Circuit
need to be placed as close as possible to the Dallas
diagnostic monitor with the ground of C1 and R1 the
same as the DS1858/DS1859 ground. Capacitor C1
suppresses system noise on the RSSI signal. R1 = 3kΩ
and C1 = 0.1µF is recommended.

The SFF-8472 Digital Diagnostic specification requires
monitoring of input receive power. The MAX3748/
MAX3748A and MAX3744 receiver chipset allows for
the monitoring of the average receive power by measuring the average DC current of the photodiode.
