data recovery IC.
Description
The R485-Type 2.5 Gbits/s lightwave receiver is
designed for use in SONET OC-48 and synchronous
digital hierarchy (SDH) STM-16 telecommunications
applications and high-speed data communications
applications. The receiver converts received optical
signals in the range of 1.2 µm to 1.6 µm wavelength
into differential data and clock outputs. The receiver
consists of either InGaAs APD or PIN photodetector
(depending on model selected), a transimpedance
amplifier, a limiting amplifier, and a clock and data
recovery IC (CDR). The CDR uses PLL technology to
extract the clock signal from the converted optical
signal. A TTL compatible link status flag signal indi-
cates when there is a loss of optical signal.
Features
■ Multisourced footprint
■ Internal APD bias supply
■ Differential data and clock outputs
■ APD and PIN versions
■ Typical sensitivity:
—APD, –32 dBm
—PIN, –23 dBm
■ Operation at 1.3 µm or 1.55 µm
■ TTL link status flag
The receiver is manufactured in a low-profile, pig-
tailed, 24-pin plastic DIP package. It requires a sin-
gle, +5.0 V power supply. The APD version has the
added benefit of containing the high-voltage supply
internal to the receiver. This internal supply also pro-
vides the necessary temperature compensation for
the APD.
■ Wide operating case temperature range:
—APD, 0 °C to +70 °C
—PIN, –40 °C to +85 °C
■ Space-saving, self-contained, 24-pin DIP
