SY88933AL
3.3V, 1.25Gbps PECL High-Sensitivity
Limiting Post Amplifier w/TTL Signal Detect
General Description
The SY88933AL high-sensitivity limiting post amplifier
is designed for use in fiber-optic receivers. The device
connects to typical transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs).
The linear signal output from TIAs can contain
significant amounts of noise and may vary in amplitude
over time. The SY88933AL quantizes these signals
and outputs PECL level waveforms.
The SY88933AL operates from a single +3.3V power
supply, over temperatures ranging from –40
o
C to
+85
o
C. With its wide bandwidth and high gain, signal
with data rates up to 1.25Gbps and as small as 5mV
PP
can be amplified to drive devices with PECL inputs.
The SY88933AL generates a high gain signal-detect
(SD) open-collector TTL output. The SD function has a
high gain input stage for increased sensitivity. A
programmable signal-detect level set pin (SD
LVL
) sets
the sensitivity of the input amplitude detection. SD
asserts high if the input amplitude rises above the
threshold set by SD
LVL
and de-asserts low otherwise.
The enable input (EN) de-asserts the true output signal
without removing the input signal. The SD output can
be fed back to the EN input to maintain output stability
under a loss-of-signal condition. Typically, 3.4dB SD
hysteresis is provided to prevent chattering.

implied at conditions other than those detailed in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum rating 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.

for a particular SD assert and
its associated de-assert amplitude.
7. This specification defines electrical hysteresis as 20log (SD Assert/SD De-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 on 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
