General Description
The MAX3747/MAX3747A multirate limiting
amplifiers function as data quantizers for OC-3 through OC-48 synchronous optical network (SONET), Fibre-Channel, and Gigabit Ethernet optical receivers.
They are pin-for-pin compatible with the SY88993V from Micrel Semiconductor, Inc.
The
amplifiers accept a wide range of input
voltages and provide constant-level, currentmode logic (CML) output
voltages with controlled edge speeds.
The MAX3747 output
voltage level is 500mVp-p and the MAX3747A output
voltage is 800mVp-p.
The MAX3747/MAX3747A limiting
amplifiers feature a programmable loss-of-signal detect (L...
