MAX3747/MAX3747A
General Description
The MAX3747/MAX3747A multirate limiting amplifiers
function as data quantizers for OC-3 through OC-48 synchronous optical network (SONET), Fibre-Channel, and
Gigabit Ethernet optical receivers. They are pin-for-pin
compatible with the SY88993V from Micrel
Semiconductor, Inc. The amplifiers accept a wide range
of input voltages and provide constant-level, currentmode logic (CML) output voltages with controlled edge
speeds. The MAX3747 output voltage level is 500mVp-p
and the MAX3747A output voltage is 800mVp-p.
The MAX3747/MAX3747A limiting amplifiers feature a
programmable loss-of-signal detect (LOS) and an
optional disable function (DISABLE). Output disable can
be used to implement squelch.
The MAX3747/MAX3747A are available in a 3mm, 10-pin
µMAX® package ideal for small form-factor receivers.

Note 1: The data-input transition time is controlled by a 4th-order Bessel filter with f-3dB = 0.75 x 2.667GHz for all data rates of
2.667Gbps and below. The f-3db = 0.75 x 3.2GHz for a data rate of 3.2Gbps.
Note 2: Supply current is measured with unterminated outputs or with AC-coupled output termination (see Figure 1).
Note 3: Between sensitivity and overload, all AC specifications are met and the output is 0.95 x limited output amplitude.
Note 4: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 5: The deterministic jitter (DJ) caused by the input filter is not included in the DJ generation specification.
Note 6: The PRBS 223 - 1 equivalent pattern consists of a K28.5 pattern plus 240 ones plus K28.5 pattern plus 240 zeros.
Note 7: Random jitter was measured without using a filter at the input.
Note 8: The signal at the input is switched between two amplitudes, Signal_ON and Signal_OFF, as shown in Figure 2.
Note 9: VTH is the voltage at pin 5 referenced to VCC (see Figure 5).

Detailed Description
The limiting amplifiers consist of a multistage amplifier,
offset-correction circuitry, an output buffer, and loss-ofsignal detect circuitry (see the Functional Diagram).
Input Stage
MAX3747
MAX3747A
The input stage is shown in Figure 3. It provides 50Ω
termination to VREF for each input signal, IN+ and IN-.
The MAX3747/MAX3747A should be AC-coupled.
VCC
Multistage Amplifier
The high-bandwidth multistage amplifier provides
approximately 57dB of gain for the MAX3747 and 61dB
of gain for the MAX3747A.
ESD
STRUCTURES
Offset Correction Loop
The MAX3747/MAX3747A are susceptible to DC offsets
in the signal path because they have 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.
The offset correction loop sets a low-frequency cutoff of
3.2kHz.

CML Output Buffer
The CML outputs of the MAX3747/MAX3747A limiting
amplifiers provide high tolerance to impedance mismatches and inductive connectors. The output current
is approximately 10mA for the MAX3747 and 16mA for
the MAX3747A. Connecting the DISABLE pin to VCC
disables the output. 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).
The MAX3747 output is 500mVP-P and the MAX3747A
output is 800mVP-P.

Applications Information
Program the LOS Assert Threshold
Program the LOS assert threshold according to Figure
5. The combination of R1 and R2 should be greater
than or equal to 5kΩ, see the Assert/Deassert vs. VTH
graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
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
low-frequency cutoff (fIN) is decreased:
fIN = 1 / [2π(50)(CIN)]
For all applications, the recommended value for CIN and
COUT is 0.1µF, which provides fIN equal to 32kHz. Refer
to Application Note HFAN-1.1: Choosing AC-Coupling
Capacitors on the Maxim website (www.maxim-ic.com).
EMI Performance
The MAX3747/MAX3747A have been designed for better EMI performance. To help reduce EMI, special care
has been taken to produce symmetrical signal outputs.

MAX3747/MAX3747A
Loss-of-Signal Indicator
The MAX3747/MAX3747A are equipped with LOS circuitry that indicates when the input signal is below a programmable threshold, set by a voltage on the TH pin
(see the Typical Operating Characteristics). The voltage
on the TH pin is set by two resistors, one connecting
from the TH pin to VCC and the other connecting from TH
to VREF (Figure 5). An RMS power detector compares
the input signal amplitude with this threshold and feeds
the signal-detect information to the LOS output, which
is open collector. To prevent LOS chatter in the region of
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. Figure 6 shows the
LOS output circuit.
