•
Digital fibre optic receiver for SDH/SONET STM4/OC12
and Gigabit Ethernet applications
•
Wideband RF gain block.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TZA3044 is a high gain limiting amplifier that is
designed to process signals from fibre optic preamplifiers
like the TZA3043 and TZA3023. It is pin compatible with
the NE/SA5224 and NE/SA5225 but with extended power
supply range, and needs less external components.
Capable of operating up to 1.25 Gbits/s, the chip has input
signal level detection with a user-programmable threshold.
The data and level detection status outputs are differential
outputs for optimum noise margin and ease of use.
The TZA3044B has the same functionality as the
TZA3044, but with TTL compatible status outputs
(pins ST and STQ), and TTL compatible JAM input.

SDH/SONET STM4/OC12 and
1.25 Gbits/s Gigabit Ethernet postamplifiers
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TZA3044 accepts up to 1.25 Gbits/s data streams,
with amplitudes from 2 mV (p-p) up to 1.5 V (p-p)
single-ended. The input signal will be amplified and limited
to differential PECL output levels (see Fig.1).
The input buffer A1 presents an impedance of
approximately 4.5 kΩ to the data stream on the inputs DIN
and DINQ. The input can be used both single-ended and
differential, but differential operation is preferred for better
performance.
Because of the high gain of the postamplifier, a very small
offset voltage would shift the decision level in such a way
that the input sensitivity decreases drastically. Therefore a
DC offset compensation circuit is implemented in the
TZA3044, which keeps the input of buffer A3 at its toggle
point in the absence of any input signal.
An input signal level detection is implemented to check if
the input signal is above the user-programmed level.
The outcome of this test is available at the PECL
outputs ST and STQ (TTL for the TZA3044B). This flag
can also be used to prevent the PECL outputs DOUT and
DOUTQ from reacting to noise in the absence of a valid
input signal, by connecting pin STQ to pin JAM. This
guarantees that data will only be transmitted when the
input signal-to-noise ratio is sufficient for low bit error rate
system operation.
PECL logic
The logic level symbol definitions for PECL are shown in
Fig.4.
Input biasing
The inputs, pins DIN and DINQ, are DC biased at
approximately 2.1 V by an internal reference generator
(see Fig.5). The TZA3044 can be DC coupled, but AC
coupling is preferred. In case of DC coupling, the driving
source must operate within the allowable input signal
range (1.3 V to V
CCA
). Also a DC offset voltage of more
than a few millivolts should be avoided, since the internal
DC offset compensation circuit has a limited correction
range.
TZA3044; TZA3044B
If AC coupling is used to remove any DC compatibility
requirement, the coupling capacitors must be large
enough to pass the lowest input frequency of interest.
For example, 1 nF coupling capacitors react with the
internal 4.5 kΩ input bias resistors to yield a lower
−3
dB
frequency of 35 kHz. This then sets a limit on the
maximum number of consecutive pulses that can be
sensed accurately at the system data rate. Capacitor
tolerance and resistor variation must be included for an
accurate calculation.
DC-offset compensation
A control loop connected between the inputs of buffer A3
and amplifier A1 (see Fig.1) will keep the input of buffer A3
at its toggle point in the absence of any input signal.
Because of the active offset compensation which is
integrated in the TZA3044, no external capacitor is
required. The loop time constant determines the lower
cut-off frequency of the amplifier chain, which is set at
approximately 850 Hz.
Input signal level detection
The TZA3044 allows for user-programmable input signal
level detection and can automatically disable the switching
of the PECL outputs if the input signal is below a set
threshold. This prevents the outputs from reacting to noise
in the absence of a valid input signal, and insures that data
will only be transmitted when the signal-to-noise ratio of
the input signal is sufficient for low bit-error-rate system
operation. Complementary PECL (TTL for the TZA3044B)
flags (pins ST and STQ) indicate whether the input signal
is above or below the programmed threshold level.
The input signal is amplified and rectified before being
compared to a programmable threshold reference. A filter
is included to prevent noise spikes from triggering the level
detector. This filter has a nominal 1
µs
time constant and
additional filtering can be achieved by using an external
capacitor between V
CCA
and pin CF (the internal driving
impedance nominally is 25 kΩ). The resultant signal is
then compared to a threshold current through pin RSET.
This current can be set by connecting an external resistor
between V
CCA
and pin RSET, or by forcing a current into
pin RSET (see Fig.6).
