622 Mbps/1244Mbps Burst-Mode Limiting
Amplifier for GPON OLT Applications
General Description
The MAX3632 burst-mode limiting amplifier is designed
specifically for 622Mbps or 1244Mbps GPON (G.984)
optical line terminal (OLT) receiver applications.
Together with the MAX3630/MAX3631 burst-mode tran-
simpedance amplifiers (TIAs), a wide-dynamic-range
burst-mode signal current (from a PIN or avalanche
photodiode) can be translated to a differential LVPECL
output. The MAX3632 has an electrical input sensitivity
of 4mV
P-P
that supports GPON class-B optical sensitivi-
ty at 622Mbps with a PIN photodiode. An LVPECL-com-
patible burst reset input (RST) connected to the limiting
amplifier is used to control the offset correction loop of
the MAX3632 as required for burst-mode operation, as
well as to arm the threshold-setting circuitry of
MAX3630/MAX3631 TIAs.
The MAX3632 is available in a low-profile, 4mm x 4mm,
24-lead thin QFN package. It operates from a single
+3.3V power supply over a -40°C to +85°C temperature
range.

this filter is not included in the DJ specifications.

from peak-to-peak output deterministic jitter.
Note 7:
Each output (OUT+, OUT-) terminated with R

FUNCTION
MAX3632
Detailed Description
The MAX3632 burst-mode limiting amplifier is designed
for 622Mbps or 1244Mbps GPON OLT receiver appli-
cations. It operates, together with the MAX3630/
MAX3631 burst-mode transimpedance amplifiers, to
convert current from a photodiode into an LVPECL out-
put signal. The MAX3632 contains a data input stage, a
gain stage, an offset correction loop, a reset and hold
section, and an LVPECL output buffer.

Input Stage
The MAX3632 input stage provides a 200Ω differential
termination and buffers the data input signal. Using a
proprietary common-mode signaling technique, the
input stage of the MAX3632 also sends the burst-mode
reset signal from the
RST
inputs (RST+,
RST-)
to the
MAX3630/MAX3631 TIAs. By using the common mode
of the differential pair for the TIAs burst-mode reset sig-
nal, the MAX3630/MAX3631 TIAs can be assembled
into 4-pin TO headers that reduce assembly costs and
complexity. For proper operation of the reset signal, the
MAX3630/MAX3631 data outputs (OUT+, OUT-) must
be DC-coupled to the MAX3632 data inputs (IN+, IN-).
