The SY88933V low-power 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 SY88933V quantizes these signals and outputs PECL
level waveforms.
The SY88933V operates from a single +3.3V or +5V
power supply, over temperatures ranging from –40°C to
+85°C. With its wide bandwidth and high gain, signals
with data rates up to 1.25Gbps and as small as 5mVp-p
can be amplified to drive devices with PECL inputs.
The SY88933V generates a TTL SD output. 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 deasserts low otherwise. EN deasserts
the true output signal without removing the input signal.
Typically, 4.6dB SD hysteresis is provided to prevent
chattering.

SY88933V
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The SY88933V low-power limiting post amplifier
operates from a single +3.3V or +5V power supply, over
temperatures from –40°C to +85°C. Signals with data
rates up to 1.25Gbps and as small as 5mVp-p can be
amplified. Figure 1 shows the allowed input voltage swing.
The SY88933V generates an SD output. SD
LVL
sets the
sensitivity of the input amplitude detection.
Input Amplifier/Buffer
Figure 2 shows a simplified schematic of the
SY88933V's input stage. The high-sensitivity of the input
amplifier allows signals as small as 5mV
PP
to be detected
and amplified. The input amplifier allows input signals as
large
as
1800mV
PP
. Input signals are linearly amplified with a
typically 38dB differential voltage gain. Since it is a limiting
amplifier, the SY88933V outputs typically 1500mV
PP
voltage-limited waveforms for input signals that are
greater than 18mV
PP
. Applications requiring the
SY88933V to operate with high-gain should have the
upstream TIA placed as close as possible to the
SY88933V’s input pins to ensure the best performance
of the device.
Output Buffer
The SY88933V’s PECL output buffer is designed to
drive 50Ω lines. The output buffer requires appropriate
termination for proper operation. An external 50Ω resistor
to V
CC
–2V for each output pin provides this. Figure 3
shows a simplified schematic of the output stage and
includes an appropriate termination method.
Signal-Detect
The SY88933V generates a chatter-free SD open-
collector TTL output with internal 6.75kΩ pullup resistor
as shown in Figure 4. SD is used to determine that the
input amplitude is large enough to be considered a valid
input. SD asserts high if the input amplitude rises above
the threshold set by SD
LVL
and deasserts low otherwise.
SD can be fed back to the enable (EN) input to maintain
output stability under a loss of signal condition. EN
deasserts the true output signal without removing the
input signals. Typically, 4.6dB SD hysteresis is provided
to prevent chattering.
Signal-Detect Level Set
A programmable SD level set pin (SD
LVL
) sets the
threshold of the input amplitude detection. Connecting
an external resistor between V
CC
and SD
LVL
sets the
voltage at SD
LVL
. This voltages ranges from V
CC
to V
REF
.
The external resistor creates a voltage divider between
V
CC
and V
REF
as shown in Figure 5. If desired, an
appropriate external voltage may be applied rather than
using a resistor. The smaller the external resistor, implying
a smaller voltage difference from SD
LVL
to V
CC
, the
smaller the SD sensitivity. Hence, larger input amplitude
is required to assert SD. “Typical Operating
Characteristics” shows the relationship between the input
amplitude detection sensitivity and the SD
LVL
voltage.
Hysteresis
The SY88933V provides typically 4.6dB SD electrical
hysteresis. By definition, a power ratio measured in dB
is 10log(power ratio). Power is calculated as V
2IN
/R for
an electrical signal. Hence, the same ratio can be stated
as 20log(voltage ratio). While in linear mode, the electrical
voltage input changes linearly with the optical power and
hence the ratios change linearly. Therefore, the optical
hysteresis in dB is half the electrical hysteresis in dB
given in the datasheet. The SY88933V provides typically
2.3dB SD optical hysteresis. As the SY88933V is an
electrical device, this datasheet refers to hysteresis in
electrical terms. With 6dB SD hysteresis, a voltage factor
of two is required to assert or deassert SD.
