19-2342; Rev 1; 11/02 KIT EVALUATION AVAILABLE 2.7Gbps Post Amp with Automatic Gain Control General Description The MAX3861 is a low-power amplifier with automatic gain control (AGC), designed for WDM transmission systems employing optical amplifiers and requiring a vertical threshold adjustment after the post amp. Operating from a single 3.3V supply, this AGC amplifier linearly amplifies/attenuates the input signal while maintaining a fixed output-voltage swing at data rates up to 2.7Gbps. The input and output are on-chip terminated to match 50 interfaces. This amplifier has a small-signal bandwidth of 3.4GHz and an input-referred noise of 0.26mVRMS. Over an input signal range of 6mVP-P to 1200mVP-P (46dB), the MAX3861 delivers a constant output amplitude adjustable from 400mVP-P to 920mVP-P. Variation in output swing is controlled within 0.2dB over a 16dB input range. The MAX3861 provides a received-signalstrength indicator (RSSI) that is linear, within 2.5%, for input signal levels up to 100mVP-P and an input signal detect (SD) with programmable threshold. o Single 3.3V Power Supply o 72mA Supply Current o 3.4GHz Small-Signal Bandwidth o 0.26mVRMS Input-Referred Noise o 6mVP-P to 1200mVP-P Input Range (46dB) o Input Signal Detect with Programmable Threshold o RSSI (Linear Up to 100mVP-P) o Adjustable Output Amplitude o 0.2dB Output Voltage Variation (Over 16dB Input Signal Variation) Features MAX3861 Applications OC-48/STM-16 Transmission Systems WDM Optical Receivers Long-Reach Optical Receivers Continuous Rate Receivers PART MAX3861EGG Ordering Information TEMP RANGE -40C to +85C PINPACKAGE 24 QFN PACKAGE CODE G2444-1 Typical Application Circuit GND CZ+ CZCCD 0.1F Pin Configuration CD20 TOP VIEW CD+ RSSI 19 18 17 16 SD VCC OUT+ OUTVCC OSM 15 14 13 7 VREF 8 SC 9 GND 10 CG+ 11 CG12 GND 24 CZ+ CZMAXIM 2.7Gbps TIA 50 0.1F 50 0.1F TH RTH 1.8k SD RSSI RRSSI 50k EN OSM VREF SC ROSM 50k ININ+ CD+ CDCG+ CGOUT+ 23 22 21 CCZ 0.22F CCG 2200pF 50 MAXIM MAX3873 CDR TH VCC IN+ INVCC EN 1 2 3 4 5 6 MAX3861 MAX3861 OUT- 50 QFN* CONTROLLED IMPEDANCE LINE *NOTE: MAXIM RECOMMENDS SOLDERING THE EXPOSED PAD TO GROUND. ________________________________________________________________ Maxim Integrated Products 1 For pricing, delivery, and ordering information, please contact Maxim/Dallas Direct! at 1-888-629-4642, or visit Maxim's website at www.maxim-ic.com. 2.7Gbps Post Amp with Automatic Gain Control MAX3861 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Supply Voltage ......................................................-0.5V to +4.0V Voltage at IN+, IN- ..........................(VCC - 1.5V) to (VCC + 0.5V) Voltage at CZ+, CZ-, CG+, CG-, CD+, CD- ............................(VCC - 3.5V) to (VCC + 0.5V) Voltage at SC, SD, EN, TH, OSM, VREF, RSSI ....................................-0.5V to (VCC + 0.5V) CML Input Current at IN+, IN-.............................................25mA CML Output Current at OUT+, OUT- ..................................25mA Storage Temperature Range .............................-55C to +150C Operating Junction Temperature Range ...........-55C to +150C Lead Temperature (soldering, 10s) .................................+300C Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device.

All AC specifications are guaranteed by design and characterization, unless otherwise noted. Supply current measurement is taken with AC-coupled inputs and excludes output currents into 50 loads. Minimum gain is defined as VIN = 1200mVP-P and VOUT = 400mVP-P. Maximum gain is defined as VIN = 6mVP-P, and VOUT = 920mVP-P. Reference gain is measured at 100MHz. Power-supply noise rejection is characterized with a 2.7Gbps 1100 pattern on the input. It is calculated by the equation PSNR = 20log(VCC / (VOUT)), where VOUT is the change in differential output voltage because of power-supply noise.

(Note 1) Note 5: Note 6: Note 7: Note 8: See the Distribution of Differential Output Offset (Worst-Case Conditions) graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics. Characterized with a 675Mbps 1-0 pattern. Measurements are taken over an input signal range of 16dB. Deterministic jitter is defined as the arithmetic sum of PWD (pulse-width distortion) and PDJ (pattern-dependent jitter). Deterministic jitter is the difference between total jitter and random jitter, with system jitter calibrated out. It is measured with a 27 - 1PRBS, and 80CIDs with DC-coupled outputs. The typical input resistance of the SC pin is 40k. AGC loop time constant is measured with a 20dB change in the input and VSC held constant. With an external capacitor CCG of 0.022F connected between CG+ and CG-, a typical AGC loop time constant of 760s is achieved. SD deassert time depends on the AGC loop time constant set by CCG. SD accuracy is defined as the part-to-part variation of the SD threshold at a fixed RTH value. See the Distribution of SD Hysteresis (Worst-Case Conditions) graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics. Measurements are taken over an input signal range of 20dB.

The MAX3861 is divided into three sections: main signal path, input signal detection, and output signal detection. IN+ VCC CZ+ CZ- MAX3861 OUT+ MAIN SIGNAL PATH Main Signal Path The main signal path consists of variable gain amplifiers with CML output levels and an offset-cancellation loop. This configuration allows for overall gains from -9.5dB to 43.5dB. IN- OUTOSM INPUT SIGNAL DETECT CONTROL BLOCK AND OUTPUT SIGNAL DETECT SC VREF CG+ CG- Offset-Cancellation Loop The offset-cancellation loop partially reduces additional offset at the input. In communications systems using NRZ data with a 50% duty cycle, pulse-width distortion present in the signal or generated by the transimpedance amplifier appears as input offset and is partially removed by the offset-cancellation loop. An external capacitor is required between CZ+ and CZ- to compensate the offset-cancellation loop and determine the lower 3dB frequency of the signal path. CD+ CDRSSI MAX3861 SD CIRCUITRY SD EN TH RTH GND Input Signal Detection and SD Circuitry The input signal detection circuitry consists of variable gain amplifiers and threshold voltages. Input signal detection information is compared to an internal reference and creates the RSSI voltage and an internal reference signal. The signal detect (SD) circuitry indicates when the input signal is below the programmed threshold by comparing a voltage proportional to the RSSI signal with internally generated control voltages. The SD threshold is set by a control voltage developed across the external TH resistor (RTH). Two control voltages, V ASSERT and V DEASSERT , define the signal detect assert and deassert levels. To prevent SD chatter in the region of the programmed threshold, 2.8dB to 6.3dB of hysteresis is built into the SD assert/deassert function. Thus, once asserted, SD is not deasserted until sufficient gain is retained. When input signal detection (SD and RSSI) is not required, connect EN to a TTL low to power down this circuitry. Figure 1. Functional Diagram Output Signal Monitor and Amplitude Control Output amplitude typically can be adjusted from 400mVP-P to 920mVP-P by applying a control voltage (0V to 2.0V) to the SC pin. See the Output Signal Amplitude vs. SC Pin Voltage graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics. Connect the VREF pin (2.0V) to the SC pin for maximum output amplitude. The output signal monitor pin provides a DC voltage linearly proportional to the output signal. Design Procedure Program the SD Threshold The SD threshold is programmed by an external resistor, RTH, between the range of 2mVP-P to 100mVP-P. The circuit is designed to have approximately 4.5dB of hysteresis over the full range. See the Signal Detect Threshold vs. R TH graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics for proper sizing. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 2.7Gbps Post Amp with Automatic Gain Control MAX3861 Select the Coupling Capacitors When AC-coupling is desired, select coupling capacitors CIN and COUT to minimize the receiver's deterministic jitter. Jitter is decreased as the input low-frequency cutoff (fIN) is decreased. f IN = Setting the Offset-Cancellation Loop Time Constant for the Main Signal Path (Selecting CCZ) The capacitor between CZ+ and CZ- determines the time constant of the signal path DC offset-cancellation loop. To maintain stability, keep a one-decade separation between fIN and the low-frequency cutoff (fOC) associated with the DC offset-cancellation circuit. For SONET applications, fIN < 32kHz, so fOCMAX < 3.2kHz. Therefore, C CZ = 0.22F (f OC = 2.99kHz), C CZ = 0.47F (fOC = 1.4kHz), or a greater value can be used. To guarantee stable operation, do not use a capacitor of less than 0.01F. [ 1 2(50)(CIN ) ] For ATM/SONET or other applications using scrambled NRZ data, select (CIN, COUT) 0.1F, which provides fIN < 32kHz. For Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and other applications using 8B/10B data coding, select (CIN, COUT) 0.01F, which provides fIN < 320kHz. Setting the Offset-Cancellation Loop Time Constant for Input Signal Detection Circuitry (Selecting CCD) The capacitor between CD+ and CD- determines the time constant of the input signal detection DC offsetcancellation loop. A value of 0.1F for CCD provides a low-frequency cutoff (fC) below 10kHz. If a lower cutoff frequency is desired, 0.22F gives fC = 4.5kHz and 0.47F gives fC = 2.1kHz. To guarantee stable operation, do not use a capacitor of less than 0.01F. Setting the Automatic Gain-Control Loop Time Constant (Selecting CCG) The automatic gain-control loop time constant is determined by the external capacitor connected between CG+ and CG-. Maxim recommends a value of at least 0.0022F. Programming the Output Amplitude (Programming the SC Pin) Output amplitude can be programmed from 400mVP-P to 920mVP-P by applying a voltage to the SC pin.
