The amplifiers accept a wide range of input voltages and provide constantlevel output voltages with controlled edge speeds. Additional features include RMS 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 excellent jitter performance. The MAX3264/MAX3265/MAX3765 feature current-mode logic (CML) data outputs that are tolerant of inductive connectors and a 16-pin TSSOP package, making these circuits ideal for GBIC receivers. The MAX3268/ MAX3269/MAX3768 feature standards-compliant positive-referenced emitter-coupled logic (PECL) data outputs and are available in a tiny 10-pin µMAX package that is ideal for small-form-factor (SFF) receivers.

PECL output voltages are absolute (single-ended) voltages measured at a single output. Note 2: Input edge speed is controlled using four-pole, lowpass Bessel filters with bandwidth approximately 75% of the maximum data rate. Note 3: 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 4: Random jitter is measured with the minimum input signal applied after filtering with a four-pole, lowpass, Bessel filter (frequency bandwidth at 75% of the maximum data rate). For Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet applications, the peak-topeak random jitter is 14.1-times the RMS random jitter. Note 5: Input signal applied after a 933MHz Bessel filter. Note 6: Input signal applied after a 1.8GHz Bessel filter. Note 7: Input for LOS assert/deassert and hysteresis tests is a repeating K28.5 pattern. Hysteresis is defined as: 20log (VLOS-DEASSERT / VLOS-ASSERT). Note 8: Response time to a 10dB change in input power. 4 _______________________________________________________________________________________ +3.0V to +5.5V, 1.25Gbps/2.5Gbps Limiting Amplifiers 1100 MAX3265/MAX3269/MAX3765 700 5.0 RTH = 7kΩ 4.5 6.0 RTH = 25kΩ 4.0 500 2 4 6 8 10 RTH = 4.6kΩ 5.0 4.5 RTH = 16kΩ 3.5 0 12 10 20 30 40 50 60 -40 70 -15 10 35 60 INPUT VOLTAGE (mV) TEMPERATURE (°C) TEMPERATURE (°C) MAX3264/MAX3268/MAX3768 DETERMINISTIC JITTER vs. INPUT AMPLITUDE MAX3264/MAX3268/MAX3768 RANDOM JITTER vs. INPUT AMPLITUDE MAX3265/MAX3269/MAX3765 DETERMINISTIC JITTER vs. INPUT AMPLITUDE 14 12 RMS JITTER (ps) 25 20 15 10 85 30 MAX3264/5/8/9 TOC06 16 MAX3264/5/8/9 TOC04 30 25 20 10 JITTER (ps) 0 5.5 4.0 3.5 300 JITTER (ps) 5.5 MAX3264/5/8/9 TOC03 6.0 LOS HYSTERESIS (dB) 1300 MAX3264/5/8/9 TOC03a MAX3264/MAX3268 6.5 MAX3264/5/8/9 TOC05 OUTPUT VOLTAGE (mV) 1500 6.5 LOS HYSTERESIS (dB) MAX3264/5/8/9 TOC01a 1700 900 MAX3265EUE LOS HYSTERESIS vs. TEMPERATURE MAX3264 LOS HYSTERESIS vs. TEMPERATURE OUTPUT VOLTAGE vs. INPUT VOLTAGE 8 6 15 10 4 0 0 0 200 400 600 800 1000 0 1200 INPUT AMPLITUDE (mV) MAX3265/MAX3269/MAX3765 RANDOM JITTER vs. INPUT AMPLITUDE MAX3264/5/8/9 TOC07 8 7 6 5 10 20 30 40 0 50 200 400 600 800 1000 INPUT AMPLITUDE (mV) INPUT AMPLITUDE (mV) LOSS OF SIGNAL WITH SQUELCH MAX3268/MAX3768 DATA OUTPUT EYE DIAGRAM (MINIMUM INPUT) 1200 MAX3264/5/8/9 TOC08 0 RMS JITTER (ps) 5 2 MAX3264/5/8/9 TOC09 5 VIN VOUT 300mV/div 4 3 VLOS 2 1 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 500ns/div 200ps/div INPUT AMPLITUDE (mV) _______________________________________________________________________________________ 5 MAX3264/MAX3265/MAX3268/MAX3269/MAX3765/MAX3768 Typical Operating Characteristics (TA = +25°C, unless otherwise noted.)

A linear input buffer drives a multistage limiting amplifier and an RMS power-detection circuit. Offset correction with lowpass filtering ensures low deterministic jitter. The output buffer produces a limited output signal. The MAX3264/MAX3265/MAX3765 produce a CML output, while the MAX3268/MAX3269/ MAX3768 produce a PECL-compatible output signal. Schematics of these input/output circuits are shown in Figures 4 through 7. An RMS power detector looks at the signal from the input buffer and compares it to a threshold set by the TH resistor (see Typical Operating Characteristics for appropriate resistor values). The signal-detect information is provided to the LOS outputs, which are internally terminated with 8kΩ (MAX3265/MAX3269/MAX3765) or 16kΩ (MAX3264/MAX3268/MAX3768) pullup resistors. The LOS outputs meet TTL voltage specifications when loaded with a resistor ≥ 4.7kΩ.

Functional Diagram 10 ______________________________________________________________________________________ +3.0V to +5.5V, 1.25Gbps/2.5Gbps Limiting Amplifiers CML Output Buffer The MAX3264/MAX3265/MAX3765 CML output circuits (Figure 7) provide high tolerance to impedance mismatches and inductive connectors. The output current can be set to two levels. When the LEVEL pin is left unconnected, output current is approximately 16mA. Connecting LEVEL to ground sets the output current to approximately 20mA. Gain Stage and Offset Correction The squelch function is enabled when the SQUELCH pin is set to a TTL-high level or connected to VCC. The squelch function holds OUT+ and OUT- at a static voltage whenever the input signal power drops below the loss-of-signal threshold. In the 10-pin µMAX package of the MAX3265/MAX3268/MAX3269, the SQUELCH function is left internally unconnected. In the MAX3765/ MAX3768, the SQUELCH function is always enabled by internally connecting it to VCC. SQUELCH operation for the MAX3264/MAX3265 is described in Table 1. The limiting amplifier provides approximately 55dB (MAX3264/MAX3268/MAX3768) or 49dB (MAX3265/ MAX3269/MAX3765) of gain. This large gain makes the amplifier susceptible to small DC offsets in the input signal. DC offsets as low as 1mV reduce the accuracy of the power-detection circuit and may cause deterministic jitter. A low-frequency feedback loop is integrated into the limiting amplifier to reduce input offset, typically to less than 100µV. An external capacitor connected between CAZ1 and CAZ2, in parallel with internal capacitance, determines the time constant of the offset-correction circuit. The offset-correction circuit requires an average data-input mark density of 50% to prevent an increase in dutycycle distortion and to ensure low deterministic jitter. Table 1.

The input buffer provides a 100Ω input impedance between IN+ and IN-. Input VSWR is typically less than 2.0 for frequencies less than 2GHz.

For ATM/SONET or other applications using scrambled NRZ data, select (CIN, COUT) ≥ 0.1µF, which provides fIN < 32kHz. PECL Output Buffer The MAX3268/MAX3269/MAX3768 offer an industrystandard PECL output. The PECL outputs should be terminated to VCC - 2V. Figure 6 shows the PECL output circuit. The squelch function forces OUT+ to a high level and OUT- to a low level when the input is below the programmed LOS threshold. In the 10-pin µMAX, SQUELCH is left unconnected. __________________Design Procedure Program the LOS Assert Threshold The loss-of-signal threshold is programmed by external resistor RTH. See the LOS Threshold vs. RTH graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics. Select the Coupling Capacitors The coupling capacitors (CIN, COUT) should be selected to minimize the receiver’s deterministic jitter. Jitter is 12 Select the Offset-Correction Capacitor (MAX3264/MAX3265 TSSOP Only) To maintain stability, it is important to keep a onedecade separation between fIN and the low-frequency cutoff (fOC) associated with the DC-offset-correction circuit. fOC = 75 / [2π 60k (CAZ + 100pF)] = 200 x 10 -6 / (CAZ + 100pF) For Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, or other applications using 8B/10B data coding, leave pins CAZ1, and CAZ2 open (fOC = 2MHz). For ATM/SONET or other applications using scrambled NRZ data, select CAZ ≥ 0.1µF, which typically provides fOC = 2kHz. ______________________________________________________________________________________ +3.0V to +5.5V, 1.25Gbps/2.5Gbps Limiting Amplifiers Optical Hysteresis In an optical receiver, the electrical power change at the limiting amplifier is 2x 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 MAX3264/MAX3265/MAX3268/MAX3269/MAX3765s’ typical voltage hysteresis is 4.4dB. This provides an optical hysteresis of 2.2dB.

Recommended GBIC LOS Circuit GBIC Loss of Signal In a GBIC application, the GBIC’s LOS output must be high impedance when VCC_MODULE = GND. Figure 8 shows the recommended circuit to maintain high impedance. ESD protection diodes on the MAX3264/ MAX3265/MAX3268/MAX3269/MAX3765/MAX3768 LOS outputs can be turned on when V CC_ HOST > VCC_MODULE. PECL Terminations The standard PECL termination (50Ω to VCC - 2V) is recommended for best performance and output characteristics (see Figure 1). The data outputs operate at high speed and should always drive transmission lines with matched, balanced terminations. Figure 9 shows an alternate method for terminating the data outputs. The technique provides approximately 8mA DC bias current, with a 45Ω AC load, for the output termination. This technique is useful for viewing the output on an oscilloscope or changing the PECL reference voltage. OUT+ 470Ω 50Ω 470Ω 50Ω MAX3268 MAX3269 MAX3768 OUT- DRIVING 50Ω TO GROUND Figure 9. Alternative PECL Termination Wire Bonding Dice For high current density and reliable operation, the MAX3264/MAX3265/MAX3268/MAX3269 use gold metalization. Make connections to the dice with gold wire only, and use ballbonding techniques (wedge bonding is not recommended). Die-pad size is 4-mils square, with a 6-mil pitch. Die thickness is 15 mils (0.375mm). ______________________________________________________________________________________ 13 MAX3264/MAX3265/MAX3268/MAX3269/MAX3765/MAX3768 +3.0V to +5.5V, 1.25Gbps/2.5Gbps Limiting Amplifiers Typical Operating Circuits (continued) VCC VCC MAX3268CUB MAX3269CUB MAX3768CUB CIN 0.01µF OUT+ IN+ 100Ω IN- MAX3266 MAX3267 OUT- CIN 0.01µF 50Ω 50Ω LOS TH RTH VCC - 2V SIGNAL DETECT Ordering Information (continued) PART TEMP RANGE Pin Configurations PIN-PACKAGE MAX3268CUB 0°C to +70°C 10 µMAX-EP* MAX3268CUB+ 0°C to +70°C 10 µMAX-EP* MAX3268C/D 0°C to +70°C Dice** MAX3269CUB 0°C to +70°C 10 µMAX-EP* MAX3269CUB+ 0°C to +70°C 10 µMAX-EP* MAX3269C/D 0°C to +70°C Dice** MAX3765CUB 0°C to +70°C 10 µMAX-EP* MAX3765CUB+ 0°C to +70°C 10 µMAX-EP* MAX3768CUB 0°C to +70°C 10 µMAX-EP* MAX3768CUB+ 0°C to +70°C 10 µMAX-EP* +Denotes lead-free package. *EP = Exposed paddle. **Dice are designed to operate from 0°C to +70°C, but are tested and guaranteed only at TA = +25°C.
