+2.97V to +5.5V, 125Mbps to 200Mbps Limiting
Amplifier with Loss-of-Signal Detector
General Description
The MAX3645 limiting amplifier functions as a data
quantizer and is pin compatible with the Mindspeed
MC2045-2 and MC2045-2Y postamplifiers. The amplifi-
er accepts a wide range of input voltages and provides
constant-level positive emitter-coupled logic (PECL)
output voltages with controlled edge speeds.
The MAX3645 features an integrated power detector
with complementary PECL loss-of-signal (LOS) outputs
that indicate when the input power level drops below a
programmable threshold. An optional squelch function
holds the data outputs at static levels during a
LOS condition.
The MAX3645 operates from a single +3.3V or +5.0V
power supply over a -40°C to +85°C temperature
range. It is available in 16-pin SO and 16-pin QSOP
packages.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
