DESCRIPTION
The SY88903V limiting post amplifier with its high gain
and wide bandwidth is ideal for use as a post amplifier in
fiber optic receivers with data rates up to 1.25Gbps. Signals
as small as 5mV
pp
can be amplified to drive devices with
PECL inputs. The SY88903V generates a chatter-free, Loss-
-of-Signal (LOS), open-collector TTL output.
The SY88903V is an integrated limiting amplifier intended
for high-frequency fiber optic applications. The circuit
connects to typical transimpedance amplifiers found within
a fiber optics link. The linear signal output from a
transimpedance amplifier can contain significant amounts
of noise, and may vary in amplitude over time. The
SY88903V limiting amplifier quantizes the signal and outputs
a voltage-limited waveform.
The /EN pin allows the user to disable the output signal
without removing the input signal.
The SY88903V incorporates a programmable level detect
function to identify when the input signal has been lost.
This information can be fed back to the /EN input of the
device to maintain stability under loss of signal condition.
The sensitivity of the level detection can be adjusted using
LOS
LVL
. The LOS
LVL
voltage can be set by connecting a
resistor divider between V
CC
and V
REF
as shown in Figure
3. “Typical Characteristics” show the relationship between
input level sensitivity and the voltage set on LOS
LVL
.
The LOS output is a TTL open-collector output that
requires a pull-up resistor for proper operation, Figure 1.

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.

SY88903V
DESIGN PROCEDURE
Output Termination
The SY88903V outputs must be terminated with a 50Ω
load to V
CC
–2V (or Thevenin equivalent).
Layout and PCB Design
Since the SY88903V is a high-frequency component,
performance can largely be determined by board layout
and design. A common problem with high-gain amplifiers is
feedback from the large swing outputs to the input via the
power supply.
The SY88903V ground pin should be connected to the
circuit board ground. Use multiple PCB vias close to the
part to connect to ground. Avoid long, inductive runs which
can degrade performance.
