SY88353BL
3.3V, 3.2 Gbps Limiting Post Amplifier with
Programmable Decision Threshold
General Description
The SY88353BL limiting post amplifier is designed for
use in fiber-optic receivers, and is specially optimized for
WDM applications where optical amplifiers such as
EDFAs and Raman amplifier are used. The device
connects to typical transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs).
The linear signal from TIAs can contain significant
amounts of noise that is unevenly distributed between
top and bottom rails due to the ASE noise generated by
the optical amplifiers, crosstalk, or non-linear effect in
the fiber. In order to optimize the BER in such noisy
conditions, the decision threshold between bit 1 and bit
0, needs to be moved to the rail that contains less noise.
The SY88353BL features a pin at which an external
voltage can be applied to move the crossing point up
and down, from 20% to 80%, for BER optimization
purposes.
The SY88353BL operates from a single +3.3V power
o
o
supply, over temperatures ranging from –40 C to +85 C.
Signals with data rates from 155Mbps up to 3.2Gbps,
and as small as10mV
pp
, can be amplified to drive
devices with CML or PECL inputs.
The SY88353L features a Loss-of-Signal (LOS) open-
collector TTL output. A programmable Loss-of-Signal
level set pin (LOS
LVL
) sets the sensitivity of the input
amplitude detection. LOS asserts high if the input
amplitude falls below the threshold sets by LOS
LVL
and
de-asserts low otherwise. The enable bar input (/EN)
de-asserts the true output signal without removing the
input signal. The LOS output can be fed back to the /EN
input to maintain output stability under a loss-of-signal
condition. Typically, 3.3dB LOS hysteresis is provided to
prevent chattering.

/Enable: This input enables the outputs when it is LOW. Note
that this input is internally connected to a 25kΩ pull-up resistor
and will default to a logic HIGH state if left open.
Apply a DC voltage from 0 to 2.4V to adjust the signal crossing

Notes:
1. Permanent device damage may occur if absolute maximum ratings are exceeded. This is a stress rating only and functional operation is not
implied at conditions other than those detailed in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.
2. The data sheet limits are not guaranteed if the device is operated beyond the operating ratings.
3. Package Thermal Resistance assumes exposed pad is soldered (or equivalent) to the devices most negative potential on the PCB.

7. See “Typical Operating Characteristics” for a graph showing how to choose a particular R
LOSLVL
for a particular LOS assert and its associated de-
assert amplitude.
8. This specification defines electrical hysteresis as 20log (LOS De-Assert/LOS Assert). The ratio between optical hysteresis and electrical
hysteresis is found to vary between 1.5 and 2, depending upon the level of received optical power and ROSA characteristics. Based upon that
ratio, the optical hysteresis corresponding to the electrical hysteresis range 1dB-4.5 dB, shown in the AC characteristics table, will be 0.5dB-3dB
Optical Hysteresis.
9. In real world applications, the LOS Release/Assert time can be strongly influenced by the RC time constant of the AC-coupling cap and the 50Ω
input termination. To keep this time low, use a decoupling cap with the lowest value that is allowed by the data rate and the number of
consecutive identical bits in the application. Typical values are in the range of 0.001µF to 1.0µF.
