General Description
The MAX3874 is a compact, dual-rate clock and data
recovery with limiting amplifier for OC-48 and OC-48
with FEC SONET/SDH applications. Without using an
external reference clock, the fully integrated phase-
locked loop (PLL) recovers a synchronous clock signal
from the serial NRZ data input. The input data is then
retimed by this recovered clock, providing a clean data
output. An additional serial input (SLBI±) is available for
system-loopback diagnostic testing. Alternatively, this
input can be connected to a reference clock to maintain
a valid clock output in the absence of data transitions.
The device also includes a loss-of-lock (LOL) output.
The MAX3874 contains a vertical threshold control to
compensate for optical noise due to EDFAs in DWDM
transmission systems. The recovered data and clock
outputs are CML with on-chip 50Ω back termination on
each line. Its jitter performance exceeds all SONET/
SDH specifications. The MAX3874A is the MAX3874
with a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) centered at
2.0212GHz.
The MAX3874 operates from a single +3.3V supply and
typically consumes 580mW. It is available in a 5mm
✕
5mm 32-pin QFN with exposed pad package and oper-
ates over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

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.
