SY88083L
1G to 12.5G Limiting Post Amplifier with
Digital Offset Correction
Revision 1.0
Features
General Description
• Multi-rate operation from 1.0625Gbps to 12.5Gbps
The SY88083L limiting post amplifier is designed for use in
fiber-optic receivers for continuous mode, multi-rate
applications from 1Gbps to 12.5Gbps.
• Selectable digital offset correction for internal offset
compensation in the high-speed data path
• Wide differential input range (10mVPP to 1800mVPP)
• Wide SD de-assert or LOS assert threshold range
− 4.5mVPP to 30mVPP
− 4dB typical electrical hysteresis
• Fast SD assert and LOS de-assert times
− 1µs typical; 2µs maximum
The SY88083L contains a high-bandwidth, high-sensitivity
input stage with user-programmable, wide-range SD
assert/LOS de-assert threshold levels, which enables
optimized system reach. Typically, 4dB of electrical
hysteresis is provided to minimize LOS or SD chattering
caused by noisy input signals. A logic level control pin is
provided to enable user selection of an open-collector,
TTL-compatible LOS or SD status indication signal with an
external 5kΩ to 10kΩ pull-up resistor.
• Selectable LOS or SD status signal indicator
• TTL-compatible JAM input with internal pull-up
• Low-noise CML data inputs with integrated 50Ω
The SY88083L provides faster SD assert and LOS de-
assert times than typical continuous mode devices over
the entire differential input voltage range of 10mVPP to
1800mVPP.
termination impedance to internal reference VREF
• Low-noise CML data outputs with integrated 50Ω
termination impedance
− 30ps typical rise/fall times
The SY88083L input stage also provides a user-selectable
digital offset correction (DOC) function to automatically
compensate for internal device offsets in the high-speed
data path.
• Wide range power supply: 3.3V ±10%
• Industrial temperature range: −40°C to +85°C
• Available in a tiny 3mm × 3mm QFN package
The SY88083L provides integrated 50Ω input and output
impedances to optimize the high-speed signal paths and
reduce component count. A TTL-compatible JAM input is
provided to enable a SQUELCH function by feeding back
the LOS or SD signal. The JAM input disables only the
post amplifier output.
Applications
• 10G/8G Fibre Channel
• 10Gigabit Ethernet
• OTN equipment
• SONET OC192; SDH STM64
• WDM/DWDM systems
The SY88083L operates from a single +3.3V power
supply, over temperatures ranging from –40°C to +85°C.
