GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TZA3034 is a high gain limiting amplifier that is
designed to process signals from fibre optic preamplifiers
like the TZA3033. It is pin compatible with the NE/SA5224
and NE/SA5225 but with extended power supply range,
and needs less external components. Capable of
operating at 155 Mbits/s, the chip has input signal level
detection with a user-programmable threshold. The data
and level-detection status outputs are differential outputs
for optimum noise margin and ease of use.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TZA3034 accepts up to 155 Mbits/s SD/SONET data
streams, with amplitudes from 2 mV (p-p) up to 1 V (p-p)
single-ended. The input signal will be amplified and limited
to differential PECL output levels (see Fig.1).
The input buffer A1 presents an impedance of
approximately 4.5 kΩ to the data stream on the inputs DIN
and DINQ. The input can be used both single-ended and
differential, but differential operation is preferred for better
performance.
Because of the high gain of the postamplifier, a very small
offset voltage would shift the decision level in such a way
that the input sensitivity decreases drastically. Therefore a
DC offset compensation circuit is implemented in the
TZA3034, which keeps the input of buffer A3 at its toggle
point in the absence of any input signal.
An input signal level detection is implemented to check if
the input signal is above the user-programmed level.
The outcome of this test is available at the PECL
outputs ST and STQ. This flag can also be used to prevent
the PECL outputs DOUT and DOUTQ from reacting to
noise in the absence of a valid input signal, by connecting
the output STQ to the input JAM. This insures that data will
only be transmitted when the input signal-to-noise ratio is
sufficient for low bit error rate system operation.
PECL logic
The logic level symbol definitions for PECL are shown in
Fig.4.
Input biasing
The input pins DIN and DINQ are DC biased at
approximately 2.55 V by an internal reference generator
(see Fig.5). The TZA3034 can be DC coupled, but AC
coupling is preferred. In case of DC coupling, the driving
source must operate within the allowable input signal
range (2.0 V to V
CCA
+ 0.5 V). Also a DC offset voltage of
