Features
The MAX3272/MAX3272A 2.5Gbps limiting amplifiers
accept a wide range of input voltages and provide a
constant-level output voltage with controlled edge
speeds. Additional features include power detectors
with programmable loss-of-signal (LOS) indication, an
optional squelch function that mutes the data output signal when the input voltage falls below a programmable
threshold, and an output polarity selector. These parts
exhibit excellent jitter performance and have low power
dissipation.
The MAX3272/MAX3272A feature current-mode logic
(CML) data outputs that are tolerant of inductive connectors, and are available in a 4mm ✕ 4mm QFN package or in die form (MAX3272 only). Along with the
MAX3271, the MAX3272/MAX3272A are ideal for lowpower, compact optical receivers.

Dice are designed and guaranteed from -40°C to +85°C but are tested only at TA = +25°C.
Supply current measurement excludes the current of the CML output stage (16mA typical). See Figure 1, Power-Supply
Current Measurement.
Note 3: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 4: Input edge speed is controlled using 4-pole, lowpass Bessel filters with bandwidth approximately 75% of the maximum
data rate.
Note 5: Deterministic jitter is measured with a K28.5 pattern (0011 1110 1011 0000 0101). Deterministic jitter is the peak-to-peak
deviation from ideal time crossings, measured at the zero-level crossings of the differential output per ANSI X3.230, Annex A.
Note 6: Random jitter is measured with the minimum input signal. For Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet applications, the peakto-peak random jitter is 14.1 times the RMS random jitter.
Note 7: Power-supply noise rejection (PSNR) is calculated by the equation PSNR = 20log (∆VCC/(∆VOUT)), where ∆VOUT is the
change in differential output voltage due to the power-supply noise, ∆VCC. See Power-Supply Noise Rejection vs.
Frequency in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
Note 8: Hysteresis is defined as: 20 ✕ log(VLOS-DEASSERT/VLOS-ASSERT).
Note 9: Response time to a 10dB change in input power. For the specification guaranteed, the power is assumed to switch back
and forth between two levels (separated by 10dB and equidistant from assert and deassert levels) outside of the two
hysteresis thresholds.
Note 10: All power-detect AC parameters are guaranteed with a 223 - 1 PRBS, 2.5Gbps input, with the longest possible run of 80CID.

The MAX3272/MAX3272A are equipped with loss-of-signal (LOS) circuitry that indicates when the input signal is
below a programmable threshold, set by resistor RTH at
the TH pin (see the Typical Operating Characteristics for
appropriate resistor selection). An averaging peakpower detector compares the input signal amplitude
with this threshold and feeds the signal-detect information to the LOS outputs, which are internally terminated
to 8kΩ (Figure 4).

Figure 3. Input Circuit
Two control voltages VASSERT, and VDEASSERT, define
the LOS assert and deassert levels. To prevent LOS
chatter in the region of the programmed threshold,
approximately 3.3dB 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 (VDEASSERT).
To facilitate interfacing with +5V modules, the LOS and
LOS pins on the MAX3272 do not have internal ESD
protection. If ESD protection is desired, a low-capacitance Schottky diode or diode array structure, such as
the MAX3202E, is recommended (see the Typical
Operating Circuits).
The LOS and LOS pins on the MAX3272A include ESD
protection and, as a result, cannot be interfaced with
+5V modules.

The high-bandwidth gain stage provides approximately
42dB of gain.

Offset-Correction Loop
Due to the high gain of the amplifier, the MAX3272/
MAX3272A are susceptible to DC offsets in the signal
path. In communications systems using NRZ data with
a 50% duty cycle, pulse-width distortion present in the
signal or generated by the transimpedance amplifier
appears as input offset and is removed by the offsetcancellation loop. An external capacitor is required
between CAZ1 and CAZ2 to decouple the offset-cancellation loop and determine the lower 3dB frequency
of the signal path.

Figure 5. CML Output Circuit
CML Output Buffer
The MAX3272/MAX3272A CML output circuit (Figure 5)
provides high tolerance to impedance mismatches and
inductive connectors. The output current can be set to
two levels using the LEVEL pin. When LEVEL is unconnected, the output current is approximately 16mA.
Connecting LEVEL to ground sets the output current to
approximately 20mA. The squelch function is enabled
when the SQUELCH pin is set to a TTL high. This function holds OUT+ and OUT- to a static level whenever
the input signal amplitude drops below the loss-of-signal threshold. This circuit is also equipped with a polarity selector, programmed by the OUTPOL pin. When
this pin is connected to VCC, no inversion will occur.
When connected to ground, the output signal will be
inverted.
8
When AC-coupling, input and output coupling capacitors (CIN and COUT) should be selected to minimize the
receiver’s deterministic jitter. Jitter is decreased as the
input low-frequency 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.
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, f IN < 32kHz, so f OCMAX <
3.2kHz. Therefore, CAZ = 0.1µF (fOC = 2kHz). For Fibre
Channel or Gigabit Ethernet applications, leave pins
CAZ1 and CAZ2 open.
Program the LOS Time Constant
External capacitor CCLOS programs the LOS assert
and deassert times. When inputting data with many
consecutive identical digits (CIDs), a longer time constant may be advantageous, so LOS does not flag
incorrectly. In this case, connect the CLOS pin to a
0.01µF capacitor to set the assert time in the range of
2µs to 100µs. For scrambled data where the mark density is kept at 50%, a shorter time constant may be
desirable. Leave the CLOS pin open for a shorter time
constant of about 1µs.

Applications Information
Optical Hysteresis
In an optical receiver, the electrical power change at the
limiting amplifier is 2 times the optical power change.
As an example, if a receiver’s optical input power (x)
increases by a factor of two, and the preamplifier is linear, then the voltage input to the limiting amplifier also
increases by a factor of two.
The optical power change is 10log(2x / x) = 10log(2) =
+3dB.
At the limiting amplifier, the electrical power change is:
10log
(2VIN )2 / RIN
VIN2 / RIN
= 10log(22 ) = 20log(2) = + 6dB
The MAX3272 typical voltage hysteresis is 3.3dB. This
provides an optical hysteresis of 1.65dB.

Wire Bonding Die
For high-current density and reliable operation, the
MAX3272 uses gold metallization. Make connections to
the dice with gold wire only, and use ball-bonding techniques (wedge bonding is not recommended). Die pad
dimensions are 94.4 microns by 94.4 microns. Die
thickness is 15 mils (0.375mm).
