1Gbps, High-Speed Limiting Amplifier with
Chatter-Free Loss-of-Signal Detection
____________________________Features
o 900MHz Bandwidth
The MAX3262 has complementary loss-of-signal outputs for interfacing with open-fiber-control (OFC) circuitry. These outputs can be programmed to assert
with input levels between 9mVp-p and 48mVp-p. LOS
hysteresis for any programmed level is nominally
3.0dB, preserving a balance between noise immunity
and dynamic range.
o Single +5V Power Supply
o 48dB Maximum Gain
o Chatter-Free LOS
o Programmable LOS Threshold
o Fully Differential Architecture

MAX3262
________________General Description
The MAX3262 limiting amplifier with its high gain and
wide bandwidth is ideal for use as a post amplifier in
fiber-optic receivers with data rates up to 1Gbps. The
amplifier’s gain can be adjusted between 33dB and
48dB. At maximum gain, signals as small as 6mVp-p
can be amplified to drive devices with PECL inputs.
