DESCRIPTION
SA5214
PIN CONFIGURATION
The SA5214 is a 75MHz postamplifier system designed to accept
low level high-speed signals. These signals are converted into a
TTL level at the output. The SA5214 can be DC coupled with the
previous transimpedance stage using SA5210, SA5211 or SA5212
transimpedance amplifiers. This “system on a chip” features an
auto-zeroed first stage with noise shaping, a symmetrical limiting
second stage, and a matched rise/fall time TTL output buffer. The
system is user-configurable to provide noise filtering, adjustable
input thresholds and hysteresis. The threshold capability allows the
user to maximize signal-to-noise ratio, insuring a low Bit Error Rate
(BER). An Auto-Zero loop can be used to minimize the number of
external coupling capacitors to one. A signal absent flag indicates
when signals are below threshold. Additionally, the low signal
condition forces the overall TTL output to a logical Low level. User
interaction with this “jamming” system is available. The SA5214 is
packaged in a standard 20-pin surface-mount package and typically
consumes 42mA from a standard 5V supply. The SA5214 is
designed as a companion to the SA5211/5212 transimpedance
amplifiers. These differential preamplifiers may be directly coupled
to the post-amplifier inputs. The SA5212/5214 or SA5211/5214
combinations convert nanoamps of photodetector current into
standard digital TTL levels.

THEORY OF OPERATION AND APPLICATION
INFORMATION
Operation, please refer to paper titled “A Low Cost 100 MBaud
Fiber-Optic Receiver” by W. Mack et al.
The SA5214 postamplifier system is a highly integrated chip that
provides up to 60dB of gain at 60MHz, to bring mV level signals up
to TTL levels.
A typical application of the SA5214 postamplifier is depicted in
Figure 5. The system uses the SA5211 transimpedance amplifier
which has a 28k differential transimpedance gain and a -3dB
bandwidth of 140MHz. This typical application is optimized for a 50
Mb/s Non Return to Zero (NRZ) bit stream.
The SA5214 contains eight amplifier blocks (see Block Diagram).
The main signal path is made up of a cascade of limiting stages: A1,
A2 and A8. The A3-A4-A7 path performs a wideband full-wave
rectification of the input signal with adjustable hysteresis and decay
times. It outputs a TTL HIGH on the “FLAG” output (Pin 5) when the
input is below a user adjustable threshold. An on-chip LED driver
turns the external LED to the ON state when the input signal is
above the threshold. In a typical application the “FLAG” output is tied
back to the “JAM” input; this forces the TTL data OUT into a LOW
state when no signal is present at the input.
As the system’s gain bandwidth product is very high, it is crucial to
employ good RF design and printed circuit board layout techniques
to prevent the system from becoming unstable.
For more information on this application, please refer to AB 1432.
Die Sales Disclaimer
Due to the limitations in testing high frequency and other parameters
at the die level, and the fact that die electrical characteristics may
shift after packaging, die electrical parameters are not specified and
die are not guaranteed to meet electrical characteristics (including
temperature range) as noted in this data sheet which is intended
only to specify electrical characteristics for a packaged device.
An auto zero loop allows the SA5214 to be directly connected to a
transimpedance amplifier such as the SA5210, SA5211, or SA5212
without coupling capacitors. This auto-zero loop cancels the
transimpedance amplifier’s DC offset, the SA5214 A1 offset, and the
data-dependent offset in the PIN diode/transimpedance amplifier
combination. For more information on the SA5214 Theory of

Semiconductors assumes no liability for device functionality or
performance of the die or systems on any die sales.
All die are 100% functional with various parametrics tested at the
wafer level, at room temperature only (25°C), and are guaranteed to
be 100% functional as a result of electrical testing to the point of
wafer sawing only. Although the most modern processes are
utilized for wafer sawing and die pick and place into waffle pack
carriers, it is impossible to guarantee 100% functionality through this
process. There is no post waffle pack testing performed on
individual die.
Although Philips Semiconductors typically realizes a yield of 85%
after assembling die into their respective packages, with care
customers should achieve a similar yield. However, for the reasons
stated above, Philips Semiconductors cannot guarantee this or any
other yield on any die sales.
Since Philips Semiconductors has no control of third party
procedures in the handling or packaging of die, Philips
