Limiting Amplifiers with Loss-of-Signal Detector
General Description
The MAX3969 is a recommended upgrade for the
MAX3964, MAX3965, and MAX3968. The MAX3964A lim-
iting amplifier, with 2mV
P-P
input sensitivity and PECL
data outputs, is ideal for low-cost ATM, FDDI, and Fast
Ethernet fiber optic applications.
The MAX3964A features an integrated power detector
that senses the input-signal power. It provides a
received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI), which is an
analog indication of the power level and complementary
PECL loss-of-signal (LOS) outputs, which indicate when
the power level drops below a programmable threshold.
The threshold can be adjusted to detect signal ampli-
tudes as low as 2.7mV
P-P
. An optional squelch function
disables switching of the data outputs by holding them at
a known state during an LOS condition.
The MAX3965 provides the same functionality, but offers
TTL-compatible LOS outputs. The MAX3968 provides the
same functionality as the MAX3964A, but has data-output
edge speed suitable for ESCON and 266Mbps fibre
channel applications.
The MAX3964A/MAX3965/MAX3968 are available in die
form, as tested wafers, and in 20-pin QSOP packages.
The MAX3964AETP is available in a 20-pin thin QFN
package.

NAME
FUNCTION
Squelch Input. The squelch function disables the data outputs by forcing OUT- low and OUT+
high during a loss-of-signal condition. Connect to GND or leave unconnected to disable.
Connect to V
CC
to enable squelching.
Output of Internal Op Amp that Sets Loss-of-Signal Threshold Voltage (Figure 1). Connect a
resistor from V
TH
to INV and from INV to ground (minimum resistance 100kΩ) to program the
desired threshold voltage.
Inverting Input of Internal Op Amp that Sets Loss-of-Signal Threshold Voltage (Figure 1).
Connect a resistor from V
TH
to INV and from INV to ground (minimum resistance 100kΩ) to
program the desired threshold voltage.
Filter Output of Full-Wave Logarithmic Detectors (FWDs). The FWD outputs are summed
together at FILTER to generate the received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI). Connect a
capacitor from FILTER to V
CC
for proper operation.
Received-Signal-Strength Indicator Output. The analog DC voltage at RSSI indicates the input
signal power. The RSSI output is reduced approximately 120mV when LOS+ is asserted.
Inverting Data Input
Noninverting Data Input
Substrate. Connect to ground.
Ground
Auto-Zero Capacitor Input. Connect a capacitor between CZP and CZN to determine the offset-
correction-loop bandwidth.
Auto-Zero Capacitor Input. Connect a capacitor between CZP and CZN to determine the offset-
correction-loop bandwidth.
Output Buffer Supply Voltage. Connect to the same potential as V
CC
, but filter V
CCO
and V
CC
separately.
Noninverting PECL Data Output. Terminate with 50Ω to (V
CC
- 2V).
Inverting PECL Data Output. Terminate with 50Ω to (V
CC
- 2V).
Inverting Loss-of-Signal Output. LOS- is asserted low when input power drops below the LOS
threshold. For the MAX3964A/MAX3968, this pin is PECL compatible and should be terminated
with 50Ω to (V
CC
- 2V). For the MAX3965, this output is TTL compatible and does not require
termination.
Noninverting Loss-of-Signal Output. LOS+ is asserted high when input power drops below the
LOS threshold. For the MAX3964A/MAX3968, this pin is PECL compatible and should be
terminated with 50Ω to (V
CC
- 2V). For the MAX3965, this output is TTL compatible and does not
require termination.
MAX3964A/MAX3968: This pin can be left open or connected to the positive supply.
MAX3965: This pin must be connected to ground.
