Data Sheet February 1999 LG1605DXB Limiting Amplifier Features ■ 28 dB gain, 34 dB differential ■ Large dynamic range: >60 dB ■ Wideband response: 8 kHz to 3 GHz ■ Extremely low ±4 ps delay skew across input range ■ Complementary 50 Ω I/Os ■ Surface-mount package ■ Standard ECL supply (400 mW) Digital video transmission ■ Interface between 1319 receiver and LG1600 clock and data regenerator ■ High-speed comparator Functional Description The LG1605DXB is a GaAs wideband limiting amplifier with differential inputs and outputs that provides 28 dB of gain (34 dB differential) and 3 GHz of bandwidth in a 50 Ω environment (Figure 1 shows the block diagram). At low input levels, below 10 mV to 20 mV, the circuit behaves as a linear amplifier. At higher levels, the device goes smoothly into limiting. The device matches the performance of an AGC amplifier but shows none of the AGC bouncing and attack characteristics.

LG1605DXB Block Diagram Data Sheet February 1999 LG1605DXB Limiting Amplifier Functional Description (continued) ability to absorb reflections returning from the receiving end is essential for preventing intersymbol interference in fiber-optic systems. The amplifier has a virtually constant output delay for input signal levels, varying across three decades. As a result, the device has very low amplitude-to-phase conversion, which makes it ultimately suitable for applications in highly sensitive fiber-optic systems. Although the amplifier is most sensitive when the input is ac coupled (see Figure 3), a low offset (<25 mV) and a large common-mode input range of 2 V make it useful in applications that require a high-speed comparator as well. The amplifier is a natural step-up interface between receivers, such as the Lucent Technologies Microeletronics Group Optoelectronics unit 1319 and regenerators like the Lucent Technologies Microelectronics Group LG1600. The referred wideband input noise (168 µVrms typical) allows for a <1e–9 bit error rate (BER) for inputs down to 2 mVp-p (S/N ratio of 21.5 dB). In SAW based clock recovery systems, with clock frequencies as high as 2.5 GHz, the device can provide a clock-limiting function in systems. A unique input coupling arrangement allows for a frequency response down into the low kHz range while using coupling capacitors that are small enough to maintain a good input return loss at high frequencies. The LG1605DXB is available in a hermetically sealed, 16-lead, glass-metal surface-mount package and uses a standard ECL supply. The outputs, when ac coupled, provide a good RF termination up to very high frequencies. The associated Pin Information The pinout for the LG1605DXB is shown in Figure 2.

These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet.

Lucent employs a human-body model (HBM) and a charged-device model (CDM) for ESD-susceptibility testing and protection design evaluation. No industrywide standard has been adopted for the CDM. However, a standard HBM (resistance = 1500 Ω , capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be used for comparison purposes. The HBM ESD threshold presented here was obtained by using these circuit parameters. Table 4. ESD Threshold HBM ESD Threshold Device Voltage LG1605DXB ≥200 V Mounting and Connections Certain precautions must be taken when using solder. For installation using a constant temperature solder, temperatures of under 300 °C may be employed for periods of time up to 5 s, maximum. For installation with a soldering iron (battery operated or nonswitching only), the soldering tip temperature should not be greater than 300 °C and the soldering time for each lead must not exceed 5 s. This device is supplied with solder on the back of the package. Due to the high gain of the device, it is recommended to solder the back of the package to ground. 4 Lucent Technologies Inc. Data Sheet February 1999 LG1605DXB Limiting Amplifier Mounting and Connections (continued) Lucent Technologies/FORCE ICs assembly procedure recommendations for the LG1605DXB are as follows: ■ Board solder pattern for the 1605DXB package base should not exceed 50% of the package base area. ■ Back lighting can be used during the pick and place operation to silhouette the package in order to eliminate reflection problems with the solder on the bottom. ■ Set the lead spacing tolerance to ±0.012 in. ■ Insertion pressure should not exceed 125 g.

Depending on the desired supply rejection, VBR can be biased with a simple resistive divider, or resistor/zener diode network. Alternatively, when the LG1605DXB is followed by the LG1600 clock and data regenerator, a resistive divider with bypassing capacitor may be connected to pin 7 (VREF) of the LG1600 (VREF ≈ –3.2 V). This arrangement provides excellent temperature stability and power supply rejection. 2. The outputs may be either ac coupled, as indicated, or dc terminated into 50 Ω. In the first case, good output return loss (see Figure 8) can be obtained. The latter configuration provides a 0 mV to –600 mV output swing (when limiting) for easy interface to dc-coupled circuits. No input coupling capacitors are needed when interfacing with the LG1600 or the 1319 receiver. Figure 3.
