SA5211
Transimpedance amplifier (180 MHz)
Rev. 03 — 07 October 1998
Product specification
1. Description
The SA5211 is a 28 kΩ transimpedance, wide-band, low noise amplifier with
differential outputs, particularly suitable for signal recovery in fiber optic receivers.
The part is ideally suited for many other RF applications as a general purpose gain
block.
