These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
BLOCK DIAGRAM
Figure 1 shows an ONET8531T block diagram. The ONET8531T consists of the signal path, supply filters, a
control block for DC input bias, automatic gain control (AGC), and a received signal strength indicator (RSSI).
The RSSI provides the bias for the TIA stage and the control for the AGC.
The signal path consists of a transimpedance amplifier stage, a voltage amplifier, and a CML output buffer. The
on-chip filter circuit provides a filtered VCC for the PIN photodiode and for the transimpedance amplifier.
The DC input bias circuit and automatic gain control use internal low pass filters to cancel the DC current on the
input and to adjust the transimpedance amplifier gain. Additionally, the chip provides circuitry to monitor the
received signal strength.

The small signal bandwidth is specified over process corners, temperature, and supply voltage variation. The assumed photodiode
capacitance is 0.2 pF and the bond-wire inductance is 0.3 nH. The small signal bandwidth strongly depends on environmental parasitics.
Careful attention to layout parasitics and external components is necessary to achieve optimal performance.
Input referred RMS noise = (RMS output noise) ÷ (gain at 100 MHz).
The RSSI output is a current output, which requires a resistive load to ground (GND). The voltage gain can be adjusted for the intended
application by choosing the external resistor; however, for proper operation, ensure that the voltage at RSSI does not exceed
VCC–0.65 V.
Offset is added to improve accuracy below 5 µA. When measured without input current (no light) the offset can be subtracted as a
constant offset from RSSI measurements.
PSNR is the differential output amplitude divided by the voltage ripple on supply; no input current at IN.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
SIGNAL PATH
A transimpedance amplifier serves as the signal path first stage that converts the photodiode current into a
voltage. If the input signal current exceeds a certain value, the transimpedance gain is reduced by means of a
nonlinear AGC circuit to limit the signal amplitude.
The second stage is a limiting voltage amplifier that provides additional limiting gain and converts the single
ended input voltage into a differential data signal. The output stage provides CML outputs with an on-chip 50 Ω
back-termination to VCC.
FILTER CIRCUITRY
The FILTER pins provide a filtered VCC for a PIN photodiode bias. The on-chip low pass filter for the photodiode
is implemented using a filter resistor of 220 Ω and a capacitor. The corresponding corner frequency is below
5 MHz. The supply voltages for the transimpedance amplifier are filtered by means of on-chip capacitors, thus
avoiding the need for an external supply filter capacitor. The input stage has a separate VCC supply (VCC_IN)
that is not connected on the chip to the supply of the limiting and CML stages (VCC_OUT).
AGC AND RSSI
The voltage drop across the internal photodiode supply-filter resistor is monitored by the bias and RSSI control
circuit block, in the situation where a PIN diode is biased using the FILTER pins.
If the DC input current exceeds a specified level then it is partially cancelled by means of a controlled current
source. This keeps the transimpedance amplifier stage within sufficient operating limits for optimum performance.
The automatic gain control circuitry adjusts the voltage gain of the AGC amplifier to ensure limiting behavior of
the complete amplifier.
Finally, this circuit block senses the current through the filter resistor and generates a mirrored current that is
proportional to the input signal strength. The mirrored current is available at the RSSI_IB output and can be sunk
to ground (GND) using an external resistor. For proper operation, ensure that the voltage at the RSSI_IB pad
does not exceed VCC-0.65 V.
If an APD or PIN photodiode is used with an external bias then the RSSI_EB pin should be used. However, for
greater accuracy under external photo diode biasing conditions, it is recommended to derive the RSSI from the
external bias circuitry.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 15 shows the ONET8531T being used in a typical fiber optic receiver circuit using the internal photodiode
bias. The ONET8531T converts the electrical current generated by the PIN photodiode into a differential output
voltage. The FILTER inputs provide a DC bias voltage for the PIN that is low pass filtered by the combination of
an internal 220 Ω resistor and a capacitor. Because the voltage drop across the 220 Ω resistor is sensed and
used by the bias circuit, the photodiode must be connected to the FILTER pads for the bias to function correctly.
The RSSI output is used to mirror the photodiode output current and can be connected using a resistor to GND.
The voltage gain can be adjusted for the intended application by choosing the external resistor; however, for
proper operation of the ONET8531T, ensure that the voltage at RSSI never exceeds VCC–0.65 V. The RSSI
output should be left open if it is not used while operating with internal PD bias.
The OUT+ and OUT– pins are internally terminated by 50 Ω pull-up resisters to VCC. The outputs must be AC
coupled, for example by using 0.1 µF capacitors, to the succeeding device.

Figure 16 shows the ONET8531T being used in a typical fiber optic receiver circuit using an external photodiode
bias for an APD photodiode. This configuration can also be used for a PIN diode. The external bias RSSI signal
is based on a DC offset value and is not as accurate as the internal bias RSSI signal, which is based upon the
photodiode current.

ASSEMBLY RECOMMENDATIONS
You need to concentrate on assembly parasitics and external components to achieve optimal performance.
Recommendations that optimize performance include:
1. Minimize the total capacitance on the IN pad by using a low capacitance photodiode and compensating for
stray capacitances. Place the photodiode close to the ONET8531T die in order to minimize the bond wire
length and associated parasitic inductance.
2. Use identical termination and symmetrical transmission lines at the AC coupled differential output pins OUT+
and OUT–.
3. Use short bond wire connections for the supply terminals VCC_IN, VCC_OUT and GND. Supply voltage
filtering is provided on chip but filtering may be improved by using an additional external capacitor.

sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard

published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual
