155Mbps Low-Noise Transimpedance
Amplifier
General Description
The MAX3657 is a transimpedance preamplifier for
receivers operating up to 155Mbps. The low noise, high
gain, and low-power dissipation make it ideal for Class-B
and Class-C passive optical networks (PONs).
The circuit features 14nA input-referred noise, 130MHz
bandwidth, and 2mA input overload. Low jitter is
achieved without external compensation capacitors.
Operating from a +3.3V supply, the MAX3657 con-
sumes only 76mW power. An integrated filter resistor
provides positive bias for the photodiode. These fea-
tures, combined with a small die size, allow easy
assembly into a TO-46 header with a photodiode. The
MAX3657 includes an average photocurrent monitor.
The MAX3657 has a typical optical sensitivity of -38dBm
(0.9A/W), which exceeds the Class-C PON require-
ments. Typical overload is 0dBm. The MAX3657 is avail-
able in die form with both output polarities (MAX3657E/D
and MAX3657BE/D.) The MAX3657 is also available in a
12-pin, 3mm x 3mm thin QFN package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
