Typical Application Circuit
General Description
The MAX3747A/MAX3747B multirate limiting amplifiers
function as data quantizers for OC-3 through OC-48 syn-
chronous optical network (SONET), Fibre-Channel, and
Gigabit Ethernet optical receivers. They are pin-for-pin
compatible with the SY88993V from Micrel
Semiconductor, Inc. The amplifiers accept a wide range
of input voltages and provide constant-level, current-
mode logic (CML) output voltages with controlled edge
speeds. The MAX3747A/MAX3747B output voltages are
800mV
P-P
. The MAX3747B has enhanced LOS operation
under overload conditions.
The MAX3747A/MAX3747B limiting amplifiers feature a
programmable loss-of-signal detect (LOS) and an
optional disable function (DISABLE) that can be com-
bined to implement squelch.
The MAX3747A/MAX3747B are available in a 3mm, 10-
pin µMAX® package ideal for small form-
factor receivers.
