The MAX3664 low-power transimpedance preamplifier
for 622Mbps SDH/SONET applications consumes only
85mW. Operating from a single +3.3V supply, it converts
a small photodiode current to a measurable differential
voltage. A DC cancellation circuit provides a true differ-
ential output swing over a wide range of input current
levels, thus reducing pulse-width distortion. The differen-
tial outputs are back-terminated with 60Ω per side.

♦ 6kΩ Gain

♦ 300µA Peak Input Current
♦ 200ps Max Pulse-Width Distortion
♦ Differential Output Drives 100Ω Load
♦ 590MHz Bandwidth
The transimpedance gain is nominally 6kΩ. For input
s ig na l le ve ls b e yond a p p roxima te ly 100µAp -p , the
a mp lifie r will limit the outp ut s wing to 900mV. The
MAX3664’s low 55nA input noise provides a typical
sensitivity of -33.2dBm in 1300nm, 622Mbps receivers.
The MAX3664 is designed to be used in conjunction
with the MAX3675 clock recovery and data retiming IC
with limiting amplifier. Together, they form a complete
3.3V, 622Mbps SDH/SONET receiver.
