3.3V/5V 155Mbps PECL LOW POWER LIMITING POST AMPLIFIER W/TTL LOS Micrel SY88803V DESCRIPTION FEATURES ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ SY88803V Single 3.3V or 5V power supply Up to 155Mbps operation Low noise PECL data outputs Chatter-free TTL Loss-of-Signal (LOS) output TTL /EN input Programmable LOS level set (LOSLVL) Available in a tiny 10-pin MSOP (3mm) package The SY88803V 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 SY88803V quantizes these signals and outputs PECL level waveforms. The SY88803V operates from a single +3.3V or +5V power supply, over temperatures ranging from –40°C to +85°C. With its wide bandwidth and high gain, signals with data rates up to 155Mbps and as small as 5mVp-p can be amplified to drive devices with PECL inputs. The SY88803V generates a TTL LOS 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 deasserts low otherwise. /EN deasserts the true output signal without removing the input signal. Typically 4.6dB loss-of-signal hysteresis is provided to prevent chattering.

Signals with data rates up to 155Mbps and as small as 5mVp-p can be amplified. Figure 1 shows the allowed input voltage swing. The SY88803V generates an LOS output. LOSLVL sets the sensitivity of the input amplitude detection. Loss-of-Signal Level Set A programmable loss-of-signal level set pin (LOSLVL) sets the threshold of the input amplitude detection. Setting a voltage on LOSLVL between V CC and VREF sets this threshold. If desired, a resistor divider between VCC and VREF, as shown in Figure 5, also creates this threshold. The smaller the voltage difference from LOSLVL to VCC, the smaller the LOS sensitivity. Hence, larger input amplitude is required to deassert LOS. “Typical Operating Characteristics” shows the relationship between the input amplitude detection sensitivity and the LOSLVL voltage. Input Amplifier/Buffer Figure 2 shows a simplified schematic of the SY88803V's input stage. The high-sensitivity of the input amplifier allows signals as small as 5mVp-p to be detected and amplified. The input amplifier allows input signals as large as 1800mVp-p. Input signals are linearly amplified with a typically 38dB differential voltage gain. Since it is a limiting amplifier, the SY88803V outputs typically 1500mVp-p voltage-limited waveforms for input signals that are greater than 18mVp-p. Applications requiring the SY88803V to operate with high-gain should have the upstream TIA placed as close as possible to the SY88803V’s input pins to ensure the best performance of the device. Hysteresis The SY88803V 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 hence the ratios change linearly. Therefore, the optical hysteresis in dB is half the electrical hysteresis in dB given in the datasheet. The SY88803V provides typically 2.3dB LOS optical hysteresis. As the SY88803V is an electrical device, this datasheet refers to hysteresis in electrical terms. With 6dB LOS hysteresis, a voltage factor of two is required to assert or deassert LOS. Output Buffer The SY88803V’s PECL output buffer is designed to drive 50Ω lines. The output buffer requires appropriate termination for proper operation. An external 50Ω resistor to VCC–2V for each output pin provides this. Figure 3 shows a simplified schematic of the output stage and includes an appropriate termination method. Loss-of-Signal The SY88803V generates a chatter-free TTL LOS. A recommended 2kΩ pullup resistor to VCC is required for proper operation, as shown in Figure 4. 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 deasserts low otherwise. LOS can be fed back to the enable (/EN) input to maintain output stability under a loss of signal condition. /EN deasserts the true output signal without removing the input signals. Typically 4.6dB LOS hysteresis is provided to prevent chattering. 5 SY88803V Micrel DATA+ 2.5mV (Min.) VIS(mVp-p) 900mV (Max.) DATA— (DATA+) — (DATA—) 5mVp-p (Min.) VID(mVp-p) 1800mVp-p (Max.)

A common problem with high-gain amplifiers is the feedback from the large swing outputs to the input via the power supply. The SY88803V’s ground pin should be connected to the circuit board ground. Use multiple PCB vias close to the part to connect to ground. Avoid long, inductive runs which can degrade performance. 7 SY88803V Micrel 10 LEAD MSOP (K10-1) Rev. 00 MICREL, INC.
