19-3297; Rev 0; 5/04
155Mbps to 3.2Gbps, Low-Power SFP
Limiting Amplifiers
General Description
Features
The MAX3747/MAX3747A multirate limiting amplifiers
function as data quantizers for OC-3 through OC-48 syn-
chronous optical network (SONET), Fibre-Channel, and
Gigabit Ethernet optical receivers. They are pin-for-pin
compatible with the SY88993V from Micrel
Semiconductor, Inc. The amplifiers accept a wide range
of input voltages and provide constant-level, current-
mode logic (CML) output voltages with controlled edge
speeds. The MAX3747 output voltage level is 500mVp-p
and the MAX3747A output voltage is 800mVp-p.
♦ Pin Compatible with Micrel SY88993V
♦ 155Mbps to 3.2Gbps Operation
♦ >57dB of Gain for the MAX3747 and MAX3747A

♦ Chatter-Free LOS with Programmable Threshold
♦ Output DISABLE Function
The MAX3747/MAX3747A limiting amplifiers feature a
programmable loss-of-signal detect (LOS) and an
optional disable function (DISABLE). Output disable can
be used to implement squelch.
♦ PECL-Compatible Inputs
Ordering Information
The MAX3747/MAX3747A are available in a 3mm, 10-pin
µMAX® package ideal for small form-factor receivers.
