+3.0V to +5.5V, 125Mbps to 266Mbps Limiting Amplifiers with Loss-of-Signal Detector
General Description
The MAX3964 limiting amplifier, with 2mV P-P input sensitivity and PECL data outputs, is ideal for low-cost ATM, FDDI, and Fast Ethernet fiber optic applications. The MAX3964 features an integrated power detector that senses the input-signal power. It provides a received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI), which is an analog indication of the power level and complementary PECL loss-ofsignal (LOS) outputs, which indicate when the power level drops below a programmable threshold. The threshold can be adjusted to detect signal amplitudes as low as 2.7mVp-p. An optional squelch function disables switching of the data outputs by holding them at a known state during an LOS condition. The MAX3965 provides the same functionality, but offers TTL-compatible LOS outputs. The MAX3968 provides the same functionality as the MAX3964, but has data-output edge speed suitable for ESCON and 266Mbps fibre channel applications. The MAX3964/MAX3965/MAX3968 are available in die form, as tested wafers, and in 20-pin QSOP packages. The MAX3964ETP is available in a 20-pin thin QFN package. Single Supply: +3.0V to +5.5V 2mVP-P Input Sensitivity 1.2ns Output Edge Speed Loss-of-Signal Detector with Programmable Threshold Analog Received-Signal-Strength Indicator Output Squelch Function Choice of TTL or PECL LOS Outputs Compatible with 4B/5B Data Coding

Detailed Description
The MAX3964 contains a series of limiting amplifiers and power detectors, offset correction, data-squelch circuitry, and PECL output buffers for data and loss-ofsignal (LOS) outputs. The MAX3965 is functionally the same, but it provides TTL buffers on the LOS outputs. The MAX3968 provides PECL LOS outputs with data outputs suitable for 266Mbps. Figure 1 shows a functional diagram of the MAX3964/MAX3965/MAX3968.
This relation translates to a 25mV increase in VRSSI for every 1dB increase in VIN (25mV/dB). The RSSI output is reduced approximately 120mV when LOS+ is asserted.
PECL Outputs
The data outputs (OUT+, OUT-) and the MAX3964/ MAX3968 loss-of-signal outputs (LOS+, LOS-) are supply-referenced PECL outputs. Standard PECL termination at each output of 50 to (VCC - 2V) is recommended for best performance.
Limiting Amplifiers
A series of four limiting amplifiers provides gain of approximately 65dB.
TTL Outputs
The MAX3965 LOS outputs (LOS+, LOS-) are implemented with open-collector Schottky-clamped TTLcompatible outputs. The LOS outputs are pulled to VCC internally with 2k resistors and do not require external pullup resistors.
Power Detector
Each amplifier stage contains a full-wave logarithmic detector (FWD), which indicates the RMS input signal power. The FWD outputs are summed together at the FILTER pin where the signal is filtered by an external capacitor (CFILTER) connected between FILTER and VCC. The FILTER signal generates the RSSI output voltage, which is proportional to the input power in decibels. When LOS+ is low, VRSSI is approximated by the following equation: VRSSI (V) = 1.2V + 0.5log (VIN) where VIN is measured in mVp-p.

Input Offset Correction
A low-frequency feedback loop around the limiting amplifier improves receiver sensitivity and powerdetector accuracy. The offset-correction loop's bandwidth is determined by an external capacitor (CAZ) connected between the CZP and CZN pins. The offset correction is optimized for data streams with a 50% duty cycle. A different average duty cycle results in increased pulse-width distortion and loss of
_______________________________________________________________________________________

sensitivity. The offset-correction circuitry is less sensitive to variations of input duty cycle (for example, the 40% to 60% duty cycle encountered in 4B/5B coding) when the input is less than 30mVp-p.
Applications Information
Program the LOS Threshold
Figure 2 provides information for selecting the LOS threshold voltage (V TH ). If R1 is 100k and if the responsivities of the photodiode and preamplifier are known, then the value of R2 can be selected from Figure 2 to provide LOS assert at the desired input power.
MAX3964/MAX3965/MAX3968
Loss-of-Signal Comparator
The LOS comparator indicates when the input signal power is below the programmed LOS threshold. To ensure supply and temperature independence, VTH is generated by a 1.2V bandgap reference. The op amp's external gain-setting resistors (R1 and R2) can be chosen to set VTH between 1.2V and 2.4V. To ensure chatter-free operation, the LOS comparator is designed with approximately 5dB of hysteresis.
Select Capacitors
A typical MAX3964/MAX3965/MAX3968 implementation requires four external capacitors (CAZ, CFILTER, and two input coupling capacitors). For all applications up to 266Mbps, Maxim recommends the following: CAZ = 27nF CFILTER = 10nF CIN = 10nF
Squelch
The squelch function disables the data outputs by forcing OUT- low and OUT+ high during a LOS condition. This function ensures that when there is a loss of signal, the limiting amplifier (and all downstream devices) does not respond to input noise or corrupt data. Connect SQUELCH to GND or leave it unconnected to disable squelch. Connect SQUELCH to VCC to enable data squelching.
Wire Bonding
For high-current density and reliable operation, the MAX3964 series uses gold metalization. Diepad size is 4mils square with a 6mil pitch. Die thickness is 15mils.
