_______________General Description
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 com-
patible 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.
