Transimpedance Preamplifier
General Description
Features
The MAX3864 is a transimpedance preamplifier for
applications in SDH/SONET systems operating up to
2.5Gbps. It features 490nA (typ) input-referred noise,
2.0GHz bandwidth, and 2mA input overload.
♦ 490nA (typ) Input-Referred Noise
♦ 2000MHz Bandwidth
♦ 2mA Input Overload
The MAX3864 operates from a single +3.0V to +5.5V
supply. It includes an integrated low-frequency com-
pensation capacitor, as well as a filter connection that
♦ 100Ω Differential Output Impedance
♦ 112mW Power Dissipation at +3.3V
♦ Integrated Filter Resistor
♦ CML Outputs
provides positive bias through a 750Ω resistor to V
.
CC
These features save external components, simplifying
design and assembly into a TO-46 header with a photo-
diode.
♦ Single +3.0V to +5.5V Supply Voltage
The MAX3864 has a typical optical dynamic range of
-24dBm to 0dBm using a PIN photodetector.
