1Gbps to 4.25Gbps Multirate Transimpedance
Amplifier with Photocurrent Monitor
General Description
The MAX3793 transimpedance amplifier provides a
compact low-power solution for applications from
1Gbps up to 4.25Gbps.
The MAX3793 features 195nA input-referred noise,
3.5kΩ transimpedance gain, 2.9GHz bandwidth (C
IN
=
0.3pF) and 2.8mA
P-P
input overload. Operating from a
+3.3V supply, the MAX3793 consumes only 106mW. An
integrated filter resistor provides positive bias for the
photodiode. These features, combined with a small die
size, allow easy assembly into a TO-46 header with a
photodiode. The MAX3793 also includes an average
photocurrent monitor.
The MAX3793 has a typical optical sensitivity of -20dBm
(0.55A/W) at 4.25Gbps. Typical optical overload is
at 4dBm. The MAX3793 and the MAX3748A limiting
amplifiers provide a complete solution for multirate
receiver applications.

Note 1:
Die parameters are production tested at room temperature only, but are guaranteed by design and characterization from
-40°C to +85°C.
Note 2:
Source capacitance represents the total external capacitance at the IN pad during characterization of the noise and band-
width parameters.
Note 3:
Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 4:
Input-referred noise is:
⎛
RMS Output Noise
⎞
⎜
⎟
⎝
Gain at f
=
100MHz
⎠
Note 5:
Values are derived by calculation from the C
IN
= 0.6pF measurements.
Note 6:
DJ is the sum of pulse-width distortion (PWD) and pattern-dependent jitter (PDJ). DJ is measured using a 3.2GHz 4th-order
Bessel filter on the input.
Note 7:
Power-supply noise rejection PSNR = -20log(ΔV
OUT
/
ΔV
CC
), where
ΔV
OUT
is the change in differential output voltage and
ΔV
CC
is the noise on V
CC
.
Note 8:
Gain stability is defined as
(A
MON
- A
MON-NOM
) / (A
MON-NOM
)
over the listed current range, temperature, and supply variation. Nominal gain is measured at V
CC
= +3.3V and +25°C.
