ML6622* High-Speed Data Quantizer
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML6622 high-speed data quantizer (post-amplifier) is a low noise, wide-band, Bi
CMOS monolithic IC designed for high-speed signal recovery applications, such as FDDI, Fast Ethernet, and ATM.
An internal DC restoration feedback loop nulls any offset
voltage produced in the input stage.
The limiting amplifier contributes to a high level of sensitivity and a minimum of duty cycle distortion.
The output of the data path is a high-speed comparator with ECL outputs.
An enable pin gates the comparator on or off in response to the input signal level or a system control signal.
The Link Detect circuit provides an Asse...
