MAX3657ETC+
155Mbps Low-Noise Transimpedance Amplifier
General DescriptionThe 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.

Pin Description
MAX3657
155Mbps Low-Noise Transimpedance
Amplifier
Detailed DescriptionThe MAX3657 transimpedance amplifier is designed for
155Mbps fiber-optic applications. The functional dia-
gram of the MAX3657 comprises a transimpedance
amplifier, a voltage amplifier, a DC-cancellation circuit,
and a CML output buffer.
Transimpedance AmplifierThe signal current at the input flows into the summing
node of a high-gain amplifier. Shunt feedback through
resistor RFconverts this current into a voltage. Schottky
diodes clamp the output signal for large input currents
(Figure 1).
Voltage AmplifierThe voltage amplifier provides additional gain and con-
verts the transimpedance amplifier single-ended output
signal into a differential signal.
Output BufferThe output buffer provides a reverse-terminated volt-
age output and is designed to drive a 200Ωdifferential
load between OUT+ and OUT-. For optimum supply-
noise rejection, the MAX3657 should be terminated with
a differential load. The MAX3657 single-ended outputs
do not drive a DC-coupled grounded load. The outputs
should be AC-coupled or terminated to VCC. If a single-
ended output is required, both the used and the unused
outputs should be terminated in a similar manner.
DC-Cancellation CircuitThe DC-cancellation circuit uses low-frequency feed-
back to remove the DC component of the input signal
(Figure 2). This feature centers the input signal within
the transimpedance amplifier’s linear range, thereby
reducing pulse-width distortion.
The DC-cancellation circuit is internally compensated
and does not require external capacitors. This circuit
minimizes pulse-width distortion for data sequences
that exhibit a 50% mark density. A mark density signifi-
cantly different from 50% causes the MAX3657 to gen-
erate pulse-width distortion. Grounding the FILT pin
disables the DC-cancellation circuit. For normal opera-
tion, the DC-cancellation circuit must be enabled.
The DC-cancellation current is drawn from the input and
creates noise. For low-level signals with little or no DC
component, the added noise is insignificant. However,
amplifier noise increases for signals with significant DC
component (see the Typical Operating Characteristics).

Photocurrent MonitorThe MAX3657 includes an average photocurrent monitor.
The current at MON is approximately equal to the DC cur-
rent at IN. Best monitor accuracy is obtained when data
input edge time is longer than 500ps.
Design Procedure
Select PhotodiodeNoise performance and bandwidth are adversely affected
by stray capacitance on the TIA input node. Select a
low-capacitance photodiode to minimize the total input
capacitance on this pin. The MAX3657 is optimized for
0.5pF of capacitance on the input. Assembling the
MAX3657 in die form using chip and wire technology
provides the lowest capacitance input and the best
possible performance.
Select CFILTSupply voltage noise at the cathode of the photodiode
produces a current I = CPDΔV/Δt, which reduces the
receiver sensitivity (CPDis the photodiode capaci-
tance). The filter resistor of the MAX3657, combined
with an external capacitor, can be used to reduce the
noise (see the Typical Application Circuit). Current gen-
erated by supply-noise voltage is divided between
CFILTand CPD. To obtain a good optical sensitivity,
select CFILT> 400pF.
Select Supply FilterThe MAX3657 requires wideband power-supply decou-
pling. Power-supply bypassing should provide low
impedance between VCCand ground for frequencies
between 10kHz and 200MHz. Use LC filtering at the
main supply terminal and decoupling capacitors as
close to the die as possible.
Select RMONConnect a resistor between MON and ground to moni-
tor the average photocurrent. Select RMONas large as
possible:
where IMONMAXis the largest average input current
observed.
Select Coupling CapacitorsA receiver built with the MAX3657 has a bandpass fre-
quency response. The low-frequency cutoff due to the
coupling capacitors and load resistors is:
Select CCOUPLEso the low-frequency cutoff due to the
load resistors and coupling capacitors is much lower than
the low-frequency cutoff of the MAX3657. The coupling
capacitor should be 0.1µF or larger, but 1.0µF is recom-
mended for lowest jitter. Refer to Maxim Application Note
HFAN-01.1: Choosing AC-Coupling Capacitorsfor more
information.
Layout ConsiderationsFigure 3 shows a suggested layout for a TO header for
the MAX3657.
Wire BondingFor high-current density and reliable operation, the
MAX3657 uses gold metalization. For best results, use
gold-wire ball-bonding techniques. Use caution if
attempting wedge bonding. Die size is 41 mils x 48 mils,
(1040µm x 1220µm) and die thickness is 15 mils (380µm).
The bond pad is 94.4µm x 94.4µm and its metal thickness
is 1.2µm. Refer to Maxim Application Note HFAN- 08.0.1:
