SY88147DL 3.3V, 1.25Gbps PECL Limiting Post Amplifier w/High Gain TTL Loss-of-Signal General Description Features The SY88147DL is a high-sensitivity limiting post amplifier designed for use in fiber-optic receivers. These devices connect to typical transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs). The linear signal output from TIAs can contain significant amounts of noise and may vary in amplitude over time. The SY88147DL quantizes these signals and outputs PECL level waveforms. The SY88147DL operates from a single +3.3V power supply, over temperatures ranging from -40oC to +85oC. With its wide bandwidth and high gain, signals with data rates up to 1.25Gbps, and as small as 5mVPP, can be amplified to drive devices with PECL inputs. The SY88147DL generates a high-gain loss-of-signal (LOS) open-collector TTL output. The LOS function has a high gain input stage for increased sensitivity. A programmable Loss-of-Signal level set pin (LOSLVL) sets the sensitivity of the input amplitude detection. LOS asserts high if the input amplitude falls below the threshold set by LOSLVL and de-asserts low otherwise. The enable bar input (/EN) de-asserts the true output signal without removing the input signal. The LOS output can be fed back to the /EN input to maintain output stability under a loss-of-signal condition. Typically 3.5dB LOS hysteresis is provided to prevent chattering.

The ratio between optical hysteresis and electrical hysteresis is found to vary between 1.5 and 2 depending on the level of received optical power and ROSA characteristics. Based on that ratio, the optical hysteresis corresponding to the electrical hysteresis range 2dB-4.5dB, shown in the AC characteristics table, will be 1dB-3dB. 8.

SY88147DL Functional Block Diagram Detailed Description The SY88147DL high-sensitivity limiting post amplifier operates from a single +3.3V power supply, over temperatures from -40C to +85C. Signals with data rates up to 1.25Gbps and as small as 5mVPP can be amplified. Figure 1 shows the allowed input voltage swing. The SY88147DL generates a LOS output, allowing feedback to /EN for output stability. LOSLVL sets the sensitivity of the input amplitude detection. Input Amplifier/Buffer Figure 2 shows a simplified schematic of the input stage. The high-sensitivity of the input amplifier allows signals as small as 5mVPP to be detected and amplified. The input amplifier allows input signals as large as 1800mVPP. Input signals are linearly amplified with a typically 42dB differential voltage gain. Since it is a limiting amplifier, the SY88147DL outputs typically 1500mVPP voltage-limited waveforms for input signals that are greater than 12mVpp. Applications requiring the SY88147DL to operate with high-gain should have the upstream TIA placed as close as possible to the SY88147DL's input pins to ensure the best performance of the device. Loss-of-Signal The SY88147DL generates a chatter-free loss-of-signal (LOS) open-collector TTL output with internal 4.75k pull-up resistor as shown in Figure 4. LOS is used to determine that the input amplitude is too small to be considered a valid input. LOS asserts high if the input amplitude falls below the threshold sets by LOSLVL and de-asserts low otherwise. LOS can be fed back to the enable (/EN) input to maintain output stability under a loss of signal condition. /EN de-asserts low the true output signal without removing the input signals. Typically, 3.5dB LOS hysteresis is provided to prevent chattering. Loss-of-Signal-Level Set A programmable LOS level set pin (LOSLVL) sets the threshold of the input amplitude detection. Connecting an external resistor between VCC and LOSLVL sets the voltage at LOSLVL. This voltage ranges from VCC to VREF. The external resistor creates a voltage divider between VCC and VREF as shown in Figure 5. Output Buffer The SY88147DL's PECL output buffer is designed to drive 50 lines. The output buffer requires appropriate termination for proper operation. An external 50 resistor to VCC-2V for each output pin provides this. Figure 3 shows a simplified schematic of the output stage. Hysteresis The SY88147DL typically provides 3.5dB LOS electrical hysteresis. By definition, a power ratio measured in dB is 10log (power ratio). Power is calculated as V2IN/R for an electrical signal. Hence, the same ratio can be stated as 20log (voltage ratio). While in linear mode, the electrical voltage input changes linearly with the optical power and hence the ratios change linearly. Therefore, the optical hysteresis in dB is half the electrical hysteresis in dB given in the data sheet. The SY88147DL is an electrical device; this data sheet refers to hysteresis in electrical terms. With 3.5dB LOS hysteresis, a voltage factor of 1.5 is required to assert or de-assert LOS.
