Optical sensitivity: −24.2 dBm 1
Differential transimpedance: 4400 V/A
Power dissipation: 70 mW
Differential output swing: 260 mV p-p
Input overload current: 4.3 mA p-p
On-chip RSSI function
Low frequency cutoff: 20 kHz
On-chip PD filter: RF = 200 Ω, CF = 20 pF
Die size: 0.7 mm × 1.2 mm
The ADN2880 is a 3.3 V, high gain SiGe transimpedance
amplifier (TIA). The TIA converts the small signal current of a
photo detector into differential voltage output. The ADN2880
features a 315 nA typical input-referred noise, enabling an
optical sensitivity of −24.2 dBm (0.85 A/W PIN). With a
bandwidth of 2.5 GHz, the ADN2880 allows a data rate
operation up to 3.2 Gbps. Typical power dissipation is
approximately 70 mW.
To facilitate the assembly in small form factor packages, such
as TO-46 headers, the ADN2880 provides an on-chip RC filter
(200 Ω, 20 pF) and features a 20 kHz low frequency cutoff
without using an external capacitor. An on-chip RSSI circuit,
which generates a voltage proportional to the average photodiode current, is also available for power monitoring and
assembly alignment.
APPLICATIONS
3.2 Gbps or below optical receivers
SONET/GbE/FC optical receivers
SFF-8472-compliant receivers
PIN/APD-TIA receive optical subassemblies (ROSA)
The ADN2880 is available in die form. With a chip area of
1.2 mm × 0.7 mm, the TIA layout is specifically optimized for
TO-Can-based packages.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Rating
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
