SY88289AL 3.3V, 3.2Gbps CML Low-Power Limiting Post Amplifier with TTL Loss-of-Signal General Description Features The SY88289AL low-power limiting post amplifier is designed for use in fiber-optic receivers. The device connects to typical transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs). The linear signal output from TIAs can contain significant amounts of noise and may vary in amplitude over time. The SY88289AL quantizes these signals and outputs CML-level waveforms. The SY88289AL operates from a single +3.3V power supply, over temperatures ranging from –40oC to +85oC. With its wide bandwidth and high gain, signals with data rates up to 3.2Gbps, and as small as 10mVP-P, can be amplified to drive devices with CML inputs or ACcoupled CML/PECL inputs. The SY88289AL generates a loss-of-signal (LOS) opencollector TTL output. A programmable loss-of-signal level-set pin (LOSLVL) sets the sensitivity of the input amplitude detection. LOS asserts high if the input amplitude falls below the threshold set by LOSLVL and de-asserts low otherwise. The enable bar input (/EN) de-asserts the true output signal without removing the input signal. The LOS output can be fed back to the /EN input to maintain output stability under a loss-of-signal condition. Typically, 3.5dB LOS hysteresis is provided to prevent chattering.

The ratio between optical hysteresis and electrical hysteresis is found to vary between 1.5 and 2, depending upon the level of received optical power and ROSA characteristics. Based upon that ratio, the optical hysteresis corresponding to the electrical hysteresis range 2dB-4.5 dB, shown in the AC characteristics table, will be 1dB-3dB. 8.

SY88289AL Functional Block Diagram Detailed Description Loss-of-signal The SY88289AL generates a chatter-free LOS opencollector TTL output with an internal 4.75kΩ pull-up resistor as shown in Figure 4. LOS is used to determine that the input amplitude is large enough to be considered a valid input. LOS asserts high if the input amplitude falls below the threshold sets by LOSLVL and de-asserts low otherwise. LOS can be fed back to the enable bar (/EN) input to maintain output stability under a loss of signal condition. /EN deasserts the true output signal without removing the input signals. Typically, 3.5dB LOS hysteresis is provided to prevent chattering. Loss-of-signal Level Set A programmable LOS level-set (LOSLVL) pin sets the threshold of the input amplitude detection. Connecting an external resistor between VCC and LOSLVL sets the voltage at LOSLVL. This voltage ranges from VREF to VCC. The external resistor creates a voltage divider between VCC and VREF as shown in Figure 5. Hysteresis The SY88289AL provides typically 3.5dB LOS electrical hysteresis. By definition, a power ratio measured in dB is 10log (power ratio). Power is calculated as V2IN/R for an electrical signal. Hence, the same ratio can be stated as 20log (voltage ratio). While in linear mode, the electrical voltage input changes linearly with the optical power and therefore, the ratios change linearly. Thus, the optical hysteresis in dB is half the electrical hysteresis in dB given in the data sheet. Since the SY88289AL is an electrical device, this data sheet refers to hysteresis in electrical terms. With 3.5dB LOS hysteresis, a voltage factor of 1.5 is required to assert or de-assert LOS. The SY88289AL low-power limiting post amplifier operates from a single +3.3V power supply, over temperatures from –40oC to +85oC. Signals with data rates of up to 3.2Gbps and as small as 10mVPP can be amplified. Figure 1 shows the allowed input voltage swing. The SY88289AL generates a LOS output. LOSLVL sets the sensitivity of the input amplitude detection. Input Amplifier/Buffer Figure 2 shows a simplified schematic of the SY88289AL’s input stage. The high-sensitivity of the input amplifier allows signals as small as 10mVPP to be detected and amplified. The input amplifier also allows input signals as large as 1800mVPP. Input signals are linearly amplified with a typical 38dB differential voltage gain. Since it is a limiting amplifier, the SY88289AL outputs typically 800mVPP voltagelimited waveforms for input signals that are greater than 12mVPP. Applications requiring the SY88289AL to operate with high gain should have the upstream TIA placed as close as possible to the SY88289AL’s input pins to ensure the best performance of the device. Output Buffer The SY88289AL’s CML output buffer is designed to drive 50Ω lines. The output buffer requires appropriate termination for proper operation. An external 50Ω resistor to VCC for each output pin provides this. Figure 3 shows a simplified schematic of the output stage.
