MAX3745
2.7Gbps SFP Transimpedance Amplifiers with RSSI
2.7Gbps Transimpedance Amplifiers for Digital Diagnostic SFP Modules
Part Details
- Up to 2.7Gbps (NRZ) Data Rates
- RSSI Implementation in 4-Pin TO-46 Header (MAX3744)
- 10psP-P Deterministic Jitter for < 100µAP-P Input Current
- 330nARMS Input-Referred Noise at 2.1GHz Bandwidth
- 28mA Supply Current at +3.3V
- 2GHz Small-Signal Bandwidth
- 2.0mAP-P AC Overload
- Die Size: 30 mils x 50 mils
The MAX3744/MAX3745 transimpedance amplifiers provide a compact, low-power solution for communication up to 2.7Gbps. They feature 330nA input-referred noise at 2.1GHz bandwidth (BW) with 0.85pF input capacitance. The parts also have > 2mAP-P AC input overload.
Both parts operate from a single +3.3V supply and consume 93mW. The MAX3744/MAX3745 are in a compact 30-mil x 50-mil die and require no external compensation capacitor. A space-saving filter connection is provided for positive bias to the photodiode through an on-chip 580Ω resistor to VCC. These features allow easy assembly into a low-cost TO-46 or TO-56 header with a photodiode.
The MAX3744 and MAX3748A receiver chip set provides an RSSI output using a Maxim interface technique. The MAX3744 preamplifier, MAX3748A postamplifier, and DS1858/DS1859 SFP controller meet all the SFF-8472 digital diagnostic requirements.
