EVAALVUAAILTAIOBNLEKIT 622Mbps, Low-Noise Transimpedance

Preamplifier for LAN and WAN Optical Receivers

General Description

The MAX3760 is a transimpedance preamplifier for

622Mbps ATM applications. It operates from a single

+5V supply and typically consumes only 100mW

power. The preamplifier converts a small photodiode

current to a differential voltage. A DC cancellation cir-

cuit provides a true differential output swing over a

wide range of input current levels, thus reducing pulse-

width distortion.

6.5kΩ transimpedance gain and 560MHz bandwidth,

combined with low 73nA input-referred noise, provide

-31.5dBm typical sensitivity in 1300nm receivers. The

circuit accepts a 1mAP-P input current, resulting in a

typical optical overload of -3dBm. The device operates

over an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

The MAX3760 is internally compensated and requires

few external components. In die form it includes a

space-saving filter connection, which provides positive

bias for the photodiode through a 1kΩ resistor to VCC.

These features, combined with the die aspect ratio and

dimensioning, allow the MAX3760 to assemble easily

into a TO-style header with a photodiode.

The MAX3760 is designed to be used with either the

MAX3761 or the MAX3762 limiting-amplifier ICs. When

combined with a photodiode, the chipset forms a com-

plete 5V, 622Mbps receiver. The MAX3760 is available

in die form and in an 8-pin SO package.
