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 SY88973V quantizes these signals and outputs typically 800mVPP voltage-limited waveforms. The SY88973V operates from a single +3.3V ±10% or +5V ±10% power supply, over an industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. With its wide bandwidth and high gain, signals with data rates up to 3.2Gbps and as small as 10mVPP can be amplified to drive devices with CML inputs or AC-coupled PECL inputs. The SY88973V incorporates a loss-of-signal (LOS), opencollector TTL output with internal 4.75kΩ pull-up resistor. 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. LOS can be fed back to the enable (/EN) input to maintain output stability under a loss-of-signal condition. /EN de-asserts the true output signal without removing the input signal. Typically 4.6dB LOS hysteresis is provided to prevent chattering. Please see Micrel’s website at www.micrel.com for a complete selection of optical module ICs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Loss-of-Signal Level Set A programmable, loss-of-signal level set 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 VCC to VREF. The external resistor creates a voltage divider between VCC and REF as shown in Figure 6. If desired, an appropriate external voltage may be applied rather than using a resistor. The relationship between VLOSLVL and RLOSLVL is given by: The SY88973V low-power, limiting post amplifier operates from a single +3.3V ±10% or +5V ±10% power supply, over an industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. Signals with data rates up to 3.2Gbps and as small as 10mVPP can be amplified. Figure 1 shows the allowed input voltage swing. The SY88973V generates an LOS output, providing feedback to /EN for output stability. LOSLVL sets the sensitivity of the input amplitude detection. Input Amplifier/Buffer The SY88973V’s inputs are internally terminated with 50Ω to REF. Unless unaffected by this internal termination scheme, upstream devices need to be AC-coupled to the SY88973V’s inputs. Figure 2 shows a simplified schematic of the input structure. The high sensitivity of the input amplifier detects and amplifies signals as small as 10mVPP. The input amplifier 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 SY88973V outputs, typically 800mVPP, voltage-limited waveforms for input signals that are greater than 10mVPP. Applications requiring the SY88973V to operate with high gain should have the upstream TIA placed as close as possible to the SY88973V’s input pins to ensure the device’s best performance. Output Buffer The SY88973V’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 or equivalent for each output pin provides this. Figure 3 shows a simplified schematic of the output structure and includes an appropriate termination method. Of course, driving a downstream device with a CML input that is internally terminated with 50Ω to VCC eliminates the need for external termination. As noted in the previous section, the amplifier outputs, typically 800mVPP, waveforms across 25Ω total loads. The output buffer, thus, switches typically 16mA tailcurrent. Figure 4 shows the power supply current measurement which excludes the 16mA tail-current. Loss-of-Signal The SY88973V incorporates a chatter-free, LOS opencollector TTL output with internal 4.75kΩ pull-up resistor as shown in Figure 5. LOS is used to determine that the input amplitude is too small to be considered a valid input. LOS asserts high if the input amplitude falls below the threshold set by LOSLVL and de-asserts low otherwise. LOS can be fed back to the enable (/EN) input to maintain output stability under a loss of signal condition. /EN de-assert low the true output signal without removing the input signals. Typically 4.6dB LOS hysteresis is provided to prevent chattering. M9999-110905 [email protected] or (408) 955-1690 VLOSLVL = VCC – 1.3 RLOSLVL RLOSLVL + 2.8 where voltages are in volts and resistances are in kΩ. The smaller the external resistor, which implies a smaller voltage difference from LOSLVL to VCC, the lower the LOS sensitivity. Hence, larger input amplitude is required to deassert LOS. The “Typical Operating Characteristics” section contains graphs showing the relationship between the input amplitude detection sensitivity and VLOSLVL or RLOSLVL. Hysteresis The SY88973V provides typically 4.6dB 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 the ratios change linearly as well. Therefore, the optical hysteresis in dB is half the electrical hysteresis in dB given in the datasheet. The SY88973V provides typically 2.3dB LOS optical hysteresis. As the SY88973V is an electrical device, this datasheet refers to hysteresis in electrical terms. With 4.6dB LOS hysteresis, a voltage factor of 1.7 is required to deassert LOS. Hysteresis and Sensitivity Improvement If increased LOS sensitivity and hysteresis are required, an application note entitled “Notes on Sensitivity and Hysteresis in Micrel Post Amplifiers” is available at http:// www.micrel.com/product-info/app_hints+notes.shtml. 7 SY88973V Micrel, Inc.
