SY88973BL
3.3V 3.2Gbps CML Low Power Limiting Post
Amplifier with TTL LOS
General Description
The SY88973BL 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 SY88973BL
quantizes these signals and outputs typically 800mV
PP
voltage-limited waveforms.
The SY88973BL operates from a single +3.3V ±10% power
supply, over an industrial temperature range of –40°C to
+85°C. With its wide bandwidth and high gain, signals with
data rates up to 3.2Gbps and as small as 10mV
PP
can be
amplified to drive devices with CML inputs or AC-coupled
PECL inputs.
The SY88973BL incorporates a loss-of-signal (LOS), open-
collector TTL output with external 4.75kΩ
to 10kΩ pull-up
resistor to fully comply with SFP MSA. A programmable, loss-
of-signal level-set pin (LOSLVL) sets the sensitivity of the
input amplitude detection. LOS asserts high if the input
amplitude falls below the threshold sets by LOSLVL and de-
asserts low otherwise. LOS can be fed back to the enable
(/EN) input to maintain output stability under a loss-of-signal
condition. /EN de-asserts the true output signal without
removing the input signal. Typically, 4.6dB LOS hysteresis is
provided to prevent chattering.

Differential data input. Each pin internally terminates to REF through 50
Ω.
Reference Voltage: Bypass with 0.01µF low ESR capacitor from REF to VCC
to stabilize LOSLVL and REF.
Loss-of-Signal Level Set: A resistor from this pin to VCC sets the threshold for
the data input amplitude at which the LOS output will be asserted.
Device ground. Exposed pad must be soldered (or equivalent) to the same
potential as the ground pins.
Loss-of-Signal: asserts high when the data input amplitude falls below the
threshold set by LOSLVL. For proper operation, connect an external 4.75k
Ω
to 10kΩ pull-up resistor between this pin and Vcc.
Differential data output.
Positive power supply. Bypass with 0.1µF|| 0.01µF low ESR capacitors.
0.01µF capacitors should be as close as possible to VCC pins.

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 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.
3. Thermal performance assumes the use of 4-layer PCB. Exposed pad must be soldered (or equivalent) to the device's most negative potential on the
PCB.
4. Excludes current of CML output stage. See “Detailed Description.”
5. Total device current with no output load.
6. Output levels are based on a 50Ω
to V
CC
load impedance. If the load impedance is different, the output level will be changed. Amplifier is in limiting
mode.
