622Mbps, 3.3V Clock-Recovery and
Data-Retiming IC with Limiting Amplifier
General Description
The MAX3676 is a complete clock-recovery and data-
retiming IC incorporating a limiting amplifier. It is intend-
ed for 622Mbps SDH/SONET applications and operates
from a single +3.3V supply.
The MAX3676 is designed for both section-regenerator
and terminal-receiver applications in OC12/STM-4 trans-
mission systems. Its jitter performance exceeds all
SONET/SDH specifications.
The MAX3676 has two differential input amplifiers: one
accepts positive-referenced emitter-coupled logic
(PECL) levels, while the other accepts small-signal ana-
log levels. The analog inputs access the limiting amplifi-
er stage, which provides both a received-signal-strength
indicator (RSSI) and a programmable-threshold loss-of-
power (LOP) monitor. Selecting the PECL amplifier dis-
ables the limiting amplifier, conserving power. A
loss-of-lock (LOL) monitor is also incorporated as part of
the fully integrated phase-locked loop (PLL).

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.
