Transimpedance amplifier (140MHz)
SA5212A
DESCRIPTION
The SA5212A is a 14kΩ transimpedance, wideband, low noise
differential output amplifier, particularly suitable for signal recovery in
fiber optic receivers and in any other applications where very low
signal levels obtained from high-impedance sources need to be
amplified.

NOTES:
1. Maximum dissipation is determined by the operating ambient temperature and the thermal resistance:
8-Pin Plastic DIP: 110°C/W
8-Pin Plastic SO: 160°C/W
8-Pin Cerdip: 165°C/W
2. The use of a pull-up resistor to V
CC
, for the PIN diode, is recommended

NOTES:
1. Package parasitic capacitance amounts to about 0.2pF.
2. PSRR is output referenced and is circuit board layout dependent at higher frequencies. For best performance use RF filter in V
CC
line.
3. Guaranteed by linearity and over load tests.
4. t
R
defined as 20-80% rise time. It is guaranteed by -3dB bandwidth test.
5. As in all high frequency circuits, a supply bypass capacitor should be located as close to the part as possible.
