The SY88923V 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 2.5Gbps.
Signals as small as 5mV
PP
can be amplified to drive
devices with PECL inputs. The SY88923V generates a
chatter-free Loss of Signal (LOS) open collector TTL
output.
The SY88923V incorporates a programmable level detect
function to identify when the input signal has been lost.
The LOS output will change from logic “LOW” to logic
“HIGH” when input signal is smaller than the swing set by
LOS
LVL
. This information can be fed back to the EN input
of the device to maintain stability under loss of signal
condition. Using LOS
LVL
pin, the sensitivity of the level
detection can be adjusted. The LOS
LVL
voltage can be set
by connecting a resistor divider between V
CC
and V
REF
show in Figure 3. Performance Curves 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.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General
The SY88923V is an integrated limiting amplifier intended
for high-frequency fiber-optic applications. The circuit
connects to typical trans-impedance amplifiers found within
a fiber-optics link. The linear signal output from a trans-
impedance amplifier can contain significant amounts of noise,
and may vary in amplitude over time. The SY88923V 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.

DESIGN PROCEDURE
Output Termination
The SY88923V outputs must be terminated with a 50Ω
load to V
CC
– 2V (or Thevenin equivalent).
Layout and PCB Design
Since the SY88923V 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 SY88923V 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
