M02050-15
3.3/5V Limiting Amplifier for Applications to 2.5 Gbps
The M02050-15 is an integrated high-gain limiting amplifier. The M02050-15 features PECL outputs and is intended
for use in applications to 2.5 Gbps. Full output swing is achieved even at minimum input sensitivity. The M02050-15
can operate with a 3.3V or 5V supply.
Rate select is supported for SFP applications and/or to achieve optimum sensitivity at data rates ≤ 1.25 Gbps.
When rate select is high, optimum sensitivity is achieved at 2.5 Gbps.
The M02050-15 also includes two analog RSSI outputs proportional to either the average or peak to peak input sig-
nal and a programmable signal-level detector allowing the user to set thresholds at which the logic outputs are
enabled.
