Limiting Amplifiers
MAX3264/MAX3265/MAX3268/MAX3269/MAX3765/MAX3768
General Description
The 1.25Gbps MAX3264/MAX3268/MAX3768 and the
2.5Gbps MAX3265/MAX3269/MAX3765 limiting ampli-
fiers are designed for Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre
Channel optical receiver systems. The amplifiers accept
a wide range of input voltages and provide constant-
level output voltages with controlled edge speeds.
Additional features include RMS power detectors with
programmable loss-of-signal (LOS) indication, an
optional squelch function that mutes the data output sig-
nal when the input voltage falls below a programmable
threshold, and excellent jitter performance.
The MAX3264/MAX3265/MAX3765 feature current-mode
logic (CML) data outputs that are tolerant of inductive
connectors and a 16-pin TSSOP package, making these
circuits ideal for GBIC receivers. The MAX3268/
MAX3269/MAX3768 feature standards-compliant posi-
tive-referenced emitter-coupled logic (PECL) data out-
puts and are available in a tiny 10-pin µMAX package
that is ideal for small-form-factor (SFF) receivers.

Note 1:
Specifications for Input Voltage Range, LOS Assert/Deassert Levels, and CML Output Voltage refer to the total differential
peak-to-peak signal applied or measured. PECL output voltages are absolute (single-ended) voltages measured at a single
output.
Note 2:
Input edge speed is controlled using four-pole, lowpass Bessel filters with bandwidth approximately 75% of the maximum
data rate.
Note 3:
Deterministic jitter is measured with a K28.5 pattern (0011 1110 1011 0000 0101). Deterministic jitter is the peak-to-peak
deviation from ideal time crossings, measured at the zero-level crossings of the differential output per ANSI X3.230,
Annex A.
Note 4:
Random jitter is measured with the minimum input signal applied after filtering with a four-pole, lowpass, Bessel filter (fre-
quency bandwidth at 75% of the maximum data rate). For Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet applications, the peak-to-
peak random jitter is 14.1-times the RMS random jitter.
Note 5:
Input signal applied after a 933MHz Bessel filter.
Note 6:
Input signal applied after a 1.8GHz Bessel filter.
Note 7:
Input for LOS assert/deassert and hysteresis tests is a repeating K28.5 pattern. Hysteresis is defined as:
20log (V
LOS-DEASSERT
/ V
LOS-ASSERT
).
Note 8:
Response time to a 10dB change in input power.
