The SY88993V limiting post amplifier with its high and
wide bandwidth is ideal for use as a post amplifier in fiber-
optic receivers with data rates up to 3.2Gbps. Signals as
small as 4mV
PP
can be amplified to drive devices with CML
inputs. The SY88993V generates a chatter-free Loss of
Signal (LOS) open collector TTL output.
The SY88993V incorporates a programmble 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 conditions.
Using LOS
LVL
pin the sensitivity of the level detect can be
adjusted. The LOS
LVL
voltage can be set by connecting a
resistor divider between V
CC
and V

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General
The SY88993V 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
SY88993V 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.

APPLICATION NOTE
Output Termination
The SY88993V outputs must be terminated with a 50Ω
load to V

.
Layout and PCB Design
Since the SY88993V 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 power
supply.
The SY88993V 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
