DESCRIPTION
The SY88923AV limiting post 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
3.2Gbps. Signals as small as 5mV
PP
can be amplified
to drive devices with PECL inputs. The SY88923AV
generates a chatter-free Loss-of-Signal (LOS) open
collector TTL output.
The SY88923AV incorporates a programmable level
detect function to identify when the input signal has been
lost. The LOS output will change from logic “LOW” to logic
“HIGH” when input signal is smaller than the swing set by
LOS
LVL
. This information can be fed back to the EN input
of the device to maintain stability under loss-of-signal
condition. Using LOS
LVL
pin, the sensitivity of the level
detection can be adjusted. The LOS
LVL
voltage can be set
by connecting a resistor divider between V
CC
and V
REF
shown in Figure 3. “Typical Operating Characteristics” on
page 6 show the relationship between input level sensitivity
and the voltage set on LOS
LVL.
The LOS output is a TTL open collector output that
requires a pull-up resistor for proper operation, Figure 1.

SY88923AV
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General
The SY88923AV is an integrated limiting amplifier
intended for high-frequency fiber-optic applications. The
circuit connects to typical trans-impedance amplifiers found
within a fiber-optics link. The linear signal output from a
trans-impedance amplifier can contain significant amounts
of noise, and may vary in amplitude over time. The
SY88923AV limiting amplifier quantizes the signal and
outputs a voltage-limited waveform.
The /EN pin allows the user to disable the output signal
without removing the input signal.
DESIGN PROCEDURE
Output Termination
The SY88923AV outputs must be terminated with a 50Ω
load to V
CC
– 2V (or Thevenin equivalent).
Layout and PCB Design
Since the SY88923AV is a high-frequency component,
performance can largely be determined by board layout
and design. A common problem with high-gain amplifiers is
feedback from the large swing outputs to the input via the
power supply.
The SY88923AV 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.
