19-1097; Rev 4; 8/08 KIT ATION EVALU LE B A IL A AV Low-Power, 622Mbps Limiting Amplifiers with Chatter-Free Power Detect for LANs ____________________________Features The MAX3761/MAX3762 limiting amplifiers, with 4mV sensitivity and PECL data outputs, are optimized for operation in low-cost, 622Mbps, LAN/ATM LAN fiber optics applications. An integrated power detector senses the input signal's amplitude. A received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI) gives an analog indication of the power level, while the complementary loss-of-signal (LOS) outputs indicate if the input power level exceeds the programmed threshold level. The LOS threshold can be adjusted to detect signal amplitudes between 3mVp-p and 100mVp-p, providing a 15dB LOS adjustment in fiber optic receivers. The LOS outputs have 3.5dB of hysteresis, which prevents chatter when input signal levels are small. The MAX3761's LOS outputs are compatible with TTL-logic levels. The MAX3762 has PECL LOS outputs. DISABLE and LOS can be used to implement a squelch function, which turns off the data outputs when the input signal is below the programmed threshold.

Functional Diagram _______________Detailed Description Figure 1 shows the functional diagram for the MAX3761/ MAX3762. The input signal is applied to VIN+ and VIN-. A chain of amplifier stages, each contributing approximately 12.5dB of gain, amplifies the input signal to PECL output voltage swings. A 4mVp-p input signal will cause the output to fully limit. Received-Signal-Strength Indicator (RSSI) Each amplifier stage contains a full-wave logarithmic detector (FWD). The full-wave detector outputs are summed at the FILTER pin and used to generate the received-signal-strength indication (RSSI). The RSSI output voltage is linearly proportional to the input power (in decibels), and is approximated by: VRSSI(V) = 1.13 + 0.457log (VIN ) where VIN is the peak-to-peak input signal in millivolts. The RSSI output is insensitive to fluctuations in temperature and supply voltage. The power detector functions as a broadband power meter that detects the total power of all signals present in the passband of approximately 750MHz. Refer to the Typical Operating Characteristics graphs showing RSSI output versus input power and signal amplitude. 6 The high-speed RSSI signal is filtered with one external capacitor connected from FILTER to VCC. The impedance at the FILTER pin is approximately 500. The FILTER capacitor (CFILTER) must be connected to VCC for proper operation. Input-Offset Correction The limiting amplifier provides approximately 60dB of gain. An input DC offset of even 1mV reduces the power-detection circuit's accuracy and can cause the output to limit. A low-frequency feedback loop is integrated into the MAX3761/MAX3762 to remove input offset. DC coupling the inputs is not recommended, as this prevents the DC-offset-correction circuitry from functioning properly. Input offset is typically reduced to less than 100V. The capacitance between pins CZP and CZN, in parallel with a 10pF integrated capacitance, determines the offset-correction circuit's time constant. The input impedance between CZP and CZN is approximately 800k. The offset correction circuitry requires an average datainput duty cycle of 50%. If the input data has a different average duty cycle, the output will have increased pulse-width distortion. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Power, 622Mbps Limiting Amplifiers with Chatter-Free Power Detect for LANs Output Buffers The DISABLE pin can be used to disable the dataoutput buffer. When DISABLE is high, the differential output signal at OUT+ and OUT- is approximately zero. In the disabled state, the common-mode voltage of each output is approximately VCC - 0.8V. Connecting DISABLE to LOS+ implements a squelch function. When using the squelch function, the output signal is disabled whenever the input signal is too small to be reliably detected (as determined by the voltage at VTH). Use of the disable function is recommended at all times. The data outputs (OUT+ and OUT-) are implemented with emitter followers that have output impedance of approximately 2. The MAX3762's PECL LOS outputs also are implemented with emitter followers that have output impedance of approximately 2. The MAX3761 TTL LOS output buffers are open-collector transistors with 6k internal pull-up resistors. __________________Design Procedure Supply Voltage The MAX3761/MAX3762 can be operated with a single +5V or -5V power supply. Programming the LOS Assert Level First determine the receiver system's sensitivity in dBm either by estimating or from prototyping results. Estimate the total gain of the preamplifier and photodiode, then use Figure 3 to select resistor R2, placing the LOS assert 3dB to 4dB below the receiver sensitivity. Alternatively, use the Typical Operating Characteristics to select the VTH value needed for LOS assert, then program VTH with the following relation: VTH = 1.18(1 + R2 / R1) Select R1 100k.

Using TIA Gain and Photodiode Responsivity to Select LOS Programming Resistor _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX3761/MAX3762 Loss-of-Signal Indicator The MAX3761/MAX3762 includes a loss-of-signal monitor with a programmable assert threshold and a hysteresis comparator. Internally, one comparator input is tied to the RSSI output signal and the other is tied to the threshold-voltage (VTH) pin, which provides a threshold for the LOS indication. An op amp referenced to an internal bandgap voltage (1.18V) is supplied for programming a supply-independent threshold voltage. Only two external resistors are needed to program the LOS assert level. VTH is programmable from 1.18V to 2.4V, providing adequate coverage of the RSSI output's useful range. The op amp runs on very low supply current and provides an accurate, temperature-stable threshold, but can source only 20A of current. For proper operation, resistor R1 (see the Typical Operating Circuit) should have a value 100k. The input bias current at INV is < 50nA. To ensure chatter-free LOS operation, the internal LOS comparator contains approximately 90mV of hysteresis. The RSSI signal output has a slope of 25mV/dB. Therefore, the overall circuit hysteresis is approximately 3.6dB[90mV / (25mV/dB)]. The LOS assert threshold is 45mV below VTH, while the LOS deassert threshold is 45mV above VTH. MAX3761/MAX3762 Low-Power, 622Mbps Limiting Amplifiers with Chatter-Free Power Detect for LANs Capacitor Selection A typical MAX3761/MAX3762 implementation requires four external capacitors. To select the capacitors, first determine the following parameters in the receiver system (see the Applications Information section for recommendations in 622Mbps ATM and Fibre Channel 1063Mbps systems): 1) The duration of the expected longest run of consecutive bits in the data stream. For example, 72 consecutive zeros in a 622Mbps data stream have a duration of 116ns. 2) The maximum allowable data-dependent jitter. 3) The desired power-detector integration time constant [1 / (2fINT)]. 4) The transimpedance amplifier's maximum peak-topeak output voltage. Step 1. Select the Input AC-Coupling Capacitors (CIN). When using a limiting preamplifier with a highpass frequency response, select C IN to provide a lowfrequency cutoff (f C ) one decade lower than the preamplifier low-frequency cutoff. This causes nearly all data-dependent jitter (DDJ) to be generated in the preamplifer circuit. For example, if the preamplifier's lowfrequency cutoff is 150kHz, then select CIN to provide a 15kHz low-frequency cutoff. Select CIN with the following equation: 1 C IN = 2 fC1950 For differential input signals, use a capacitor equal to CIN on both inputs (VIN+ and VIN-). For single-ended input signals, one capacitor should be tied to VIN+ and another should decouple VIN- to ground. When using a preamplifier without a highpass response, select CIN to ensure that data-dependent jitter is acceptable. The following equation provides an estimate for CIN: C IN -t L ( DDJ)( BW ) 1950 ln 1 - 0.5 value of CIN. The following equation estimates LOS time delay when the maximum-amplitude signal is instantaneously removed from the input, and when the FILTER time constant is much faster than the input time constant (CFILTER < 0.4CIN): tLOS ASSERT = 1950CINln(VMAXp-p / VASSERTp-p) where VMAXp-p is the maximum output of the preamplifier, and VASSERTp-p is the input amplitude that causes LOS to assert. The equation describes the input capacitors' discharge time, from maximum input to the LOS threshold into the 1950, single-ended input resistance. Step 2. Select the Offset-Correction Capacitor (CAZ). To maintain stability, it is important to keep a onedecade separation between fC and the low-frequency cutoff associated with the DC-offset-correction circuit (fOC). The input impedance between CZP and CZN is approximately 800k in parallel with 10pF. As a result, the low-frequency cutoff (fOC) associated with the DCoffset-correction loop is computed as follows: fOC = 1 2 800k ( C AZ + 10pF ) where CAZ is an optional external capacitor between CZP and CZN. If CIN is known, then: C AZ C IN - 10pF 41 Step 3. Select the Power-Detect Integration Capacitor (CFILTER). For 622Mbps ATM applications, Maxim recommends a filter frequency of 3MHz, which requires CFILTER = 100pF. The integration frequency can be selected lower to remove low-frequency noise, or to prevent unusual data sequences from asserting LOS. CFILTER = 1 / ( 2500fINT) where fINT is the integration frequency. where: tL = duration of the longest run of consecutive bits with the same value (seconds); DDJ = maximum allowable data-dependent jitter, peak-to-peak (seconds); BW = typical system bandwidth, normally 0.6 to 1.0 times the data rate (hertz). Regardless of which method is used to select CIN, the maximum LOS assert time can be estimated from the 8 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Power, 622Mbps Limiting Amplifiers with Chatter-Free Power Detect for LANs Converting Average Optical Power to Signal Amplitude Many of the MAX3761/MAX3762's specifications relate to input-signal amplitude. When working with fiber optic receivers, the input is usually expressed in terms of average optical power and extinction ratio. The relations given in Table 1 are helpful for converting optical power to input signal when designing with the MAX3761/MAX3762. OPTICAL POWER P1 PAVE P0 Table 1. Optical-Power Relations* PARAMETER SYMBOL TIME RELATION Figure 4. Optical-Power Relations PAVE = ( P0 + P1) / 2 Average Power PAVE Extinction Ratio re re = P1 / P0 Optical Power of a "1" P1 P1 = 2PAVE Optical Power of a "0" P0 P0 = 2PAVE / ( re + 1) Signal Amplitude PIN PIN = P1 - P0 = 2PAVE In an optical receiver the dB change at the MAX3761/ MAX3762 will always equal 2x the optical dB change. The MAX3761/MAX3762's typical voltage hysteresis is 3.6dB. This provides an optical hysteresis of 1.8dB. re re + 1 Input Sensitivity (re - 1) re + 1 * Assuming a 50% average input data duty cycle (true for SONET/ATM data). In an optical receiver, the input voltage to the limiting amplifier can be found by multiplying the relationship in Table 1 with the photodiode responsivity (p) and transimpedance amplifier gain (G). Optical Hysteresis Power and hysteresis are often expressed in decibels. By definition, decibels are always 10log (power). At the inputs to the MAX3761/MAX3762 limiting amplifier, the power is VIN2/R. If a receiver's optical input power (x) increases by a factor of two, and the preamplifier is linear, then the voltage input to the MAX3761/MAX3762 also increases by a factor of two. The optical power change is 10log(2x / x) = 10log(2) = +3dB At the MAX3761/MAX3762, the voltage change is: 10 log ( 2VIN ) 2 / R VIN 2 / R = 10 log(2 2 ) = 20 log(2) = + 6dB The receiver's gain sensitivity defines the smallest signal input that results in fully limited PECL-compatible data outputs. Smaller signals result in nonlimited outputs. The MAX3761/MAX3762's input sensitivity (SGAIN) is 4mVp-p: SGAIN = 4mV Optical gain sensitivity (in dBm) is: S r +1 10log GAIN x e x 1000 re - 1 2G In a receiver with G = 6k, re = 10, and = 0.8A/W, gain sensitivity is 510nW, or -32.9dBm. 622Mbps ATM Component Selection As an example, a preamplifier with a 150kHz lowfrequency cutoff and a 950mVp-p maximum output has the best performance with the following selections: CIN = 5.6nF, so that fC = 15kHz (one decade below the 150kHz cutoff) C AZ = 150pF, so that f OC < 1.5kHz (one decade below fC) C FILTER = 100pF, so that the integration frequency equals 3MHz. These selections should provide data-dependent jitter less than 110ps p-p when the input consists of PRBS data with no more than 72 consecutive bits. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX3761/MAX3762 __________Applications Information MAX3761/MAX3762 Low-Power, 622Mbps Limiting Amplifiers with Chatter-Free Power Detect for LANs For LOS assert at -35dBm, select R1 = 100k and R2 = 22k, which programs the LOS assert at input 3mV. With this selection, LOS assert time will typically be less than 85s. OUT+ Fibre Channel Component Selection In Fibre Channel applications, the desired LOS assert time is typically 25s maximum, and data-dependent jitter is reduced by 8B10B coding techniques. The following are recommended in a Fibre Channel system where preamp gain is 2000V/W, LOS assert is set for -24dBm (13mV MAX3761/MAX3762 input), and the maximum input to the MAX3761/MAX3762 is 1Vp-p: CIN = 3.3nF (to provide LOS assert in 25s) CAZ = 82pF (to provide fOC = 1/10 fC for stability) CFILTER = 100pF (for a 3MHz integration constant) R1 = 100k, R2 = 50k (to set LOS assert at -24dBm) PECL Terminations The standard PECL termination (50 to VCC - 2V) is recommended for best performance and output characteristics. The data outputs operate at high speed, and should always drive transmission lines with 50 to 75 terminations. Balanced termination is recommended for all outputs. Figure 5 shows an alternative method for terminating the data outputs. The technique provides approximately 8mA DC bias current, with a 50 AC load, for the output termination. This technique is useful for viewing the output on an oscilloscope or changing the PECL reference voltage. The MAX3762's PECL LOS outputs are relatively slow and do not need 50 terminations (although they are capable of driving them). To reduce power, the MAX3762's LOS outputs can be terminated with 500. Figure 6 shows a typical operating circuit for the MAX3762. 10 470 50 470 50 MAX3761 OUT- DRIVING 50 TO GROUND Figure 5. Alternative PECL Termination Wire Bonding For high current density and reliable operation, the MAX3761/MAX3762 use gold metalization. Make connections to the dice with gold wire only, and use ballbonding techniques (wedge bonding is not recommended). Die-pad size is 4 mils square, with a 6 mil pitch. Die thickness is 12 mils (0.3mm). Layout Techniques The MAX3761/MAX3762 are high-frequency, highbandwidth circuits. To ensure stability, use good highfrequency layout techniques. Filter voltage supplies, and keep ground connections short. Use multiple vias where possible. Use controlled-impedance transmission lines to connect the MAX3761/MAX3762 data outputs to other circuits. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Power, 622Mbps Limiting Amplifiers with Chatter-Free Power Detect for LANs +5V CZN DISABLE LOS+ EN 10nF CAZ 150pF CZP VCC RSSI VCCO CIN 5.6nF OUT+ GNDO VCC - 2V GND FILTER CFILTER INV VCC - 2V 50 50 MAX3762 VIN- VCC - 2V 500 OUTVIN+ 100pF 500 LOS- CIN 5.6nF 100pF VTH SUB +VCC R1 R2 Package Information Chip Topography For the latest package outline information and land patterns, go to www.maxim-ic.com/packages.
