MAX3901

19-3278; Rev 1; 7/04 150Mbps Automotive Fiber Optic Receivers General Description The MAX3901/MAX3902 are optimized for low-cost polymer-clad silica (PCS) and plastic optical fiber (POF) automotive receivers. These parts operate over an extended -40°C to +140°C (junction) temperature range. The MAX3901 features a 1.2µA to 1mA input range, a +3.3V or +5V supply voltage, operation from 8Mbps to 50Mbps, and a TTL output compatible with common automotive optical network interfaces. The MAX3902 features a 1.2µA to 1mA input range, +3.3V supply voltage, operation from 40Mbps to 150Mbps, and a differential output compatible with LVDS, PECL, and IEEE 1394b (S100β). Both circuits provide an input power detect and lowpower standby mode with status output. No filter capacitors are required in the optical subassembly, thus enabling a low-cost receiver design. The circuits are available in die and wafer form. o Operation Up to 50Mbps (MAX3901) o Operation Up to 150Mbps (MAX3902) o +3.3V or +5.0V Power Supply (MAX3901) o 1.2µAP-P Input Sensitivity o 1mAP-P Input Overload o Input Power Detect with Power-Reducing Standby Mode o Active Output Pulldown During Standby Mode (MAX3901) o Differential LVDS- or PECL-Compatible Output (MAX3902) o TTL-Compatible Output (MAX3901) o No Filter Capacitors Required in the Optical Subassembly Features o -40°C to +140°C Operating Junction Temperature MAX3901/MAX3902 Applications Automotive Fiber Optic Receivers IEEE 1394b (S100β) PART MAX3901E/D MAX3902E...
