MAX3748AETE-T
Compact 155Mbps to 4.25Gbps Limiting Amplifier
General DescriptionThe MAX3748 multirate limiting amplifier functions as a
data quantizer for SONET, Fibre Channel, and Gigabit
Ethernet optical receivers. The amplifier accepts a wide
range of input voltages and provides constant-level
current-mode logic (CML) output voltages with con-
trolled edge speeds.
A received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI) is available
when the MAX3748 is combined with the MAX3744 SFP
transimpedance amplifier (TIA). A receiver consisting of
the MAX3744 and the MAX3748 can provide up to
19dB RSSI dynamic range. Additional features include
a programmable loss-of-signal (LOS) detect, an option-
al disable function (DISABLE), and an output signal
polarity reversal (OUTPOL). Output disable can be
used to implement squelch.
The combination of the MAX3748 and the MAX3744
allows for the implementation of all the small-form-factor
SFF-8472 digital diagnostic specifications using a stan-
dard 4-pin TO-46 header. The MAX3748 is packaged in
a 3mm x 3mm, 16-pin thin QFN package with an
exposed pad.

Note 4:223- 1 PRBS pattern was substituted by K28.5 pattern to determine the high-speed portion of the deterministic jitter. The
low-speed portion of the DJ (baseline wander) was obtained by measuring the eye width difference between outputs gen-
erated using K28.5 and 223- 1 PRBS patterns.
Note 5:Random jitter was measured without using a filter at the input.
Note 6:The supply current measurement excludes the CML output currents by connecting the CML outputs to a separate VCC
(see Figure 1).
Note 7:Unless otherwise specified, the pattern for all LOS detect specifications is 223- 1 PRBS.
Note 8:The signal at the input is switched between two amplitudes, Signal_ON and Signal_OFF, as shown in Figure 2.
Note 9:ICM_INPUTis the input common mode. IRSSIis the current at the RSSI output.
Note 10:Stability is defined as variation over temperature and power supply with respect to the typical gain of the part.

Pin Description
PIN NAMEFUNCTION1, 4, 12 VCCSupply Voltage IN+ Noninverted Input Signal, CML IN- Inverted Input Signal, CML
5 TH Loss-of-Signal Threshold Pin. Resistor to ground (RTH) sets the LOS threshold. Connecting this pin to
VCC disables the LOS circuitry and reduces power consumption.
6 DISABLE
Disable Input, CMOS/TTL. The data outputs are held static when this pin is asserted high. The LOS
function remains active when the outputs are disabled. If routed through the DS1858/DS1859
controller IC, no additional ESD protection is required.
7 LOS
Noninverted Loss-of-Signal Output. LOS is asserted high when the signal drops below the assert
threshold set by the TH input. The output is open collector (Figure 5). If routed through the
DS1858/DS1859 controller IC, no additional ESD protection is required.
8, 16 GND Supply Ground
9 OUTPOL Output Polarity Control Input. Connect to GND for an inversion of polarity through the limiting
amplifier and connect to VCC for normal operation.
10 OUT- Inverted Data Output, CML
11 OUT+ Noninverted Data Output, CML
13 RSSI
Received-Signal-Strength Indicator. This current output can be used to obtain a ground-referenced
voltage proportional to photodiode current with the MAX3744 by connecting an external resistor
between this pin and GND.
14 CAZ2
Offset Correction Loop Capacitor Connection. A capacitor connected between this pin and CAZ1
extends the time constant of the offset correction loop. Typical value of CAZ is 0.1μF. The offset
correction is disabled when the CAZ1 and CAZ2 pins are shorted together.
15 CAZ1
Offset Correction Loop Capacitor Connection. A capacitor connected between this pin and CAZ2
extends the time constant of the offset correction loop. Typical value of CAZ is 0.1μF. The offset
correction is disabled when the CAZ1 and CAZ2 pins are shorted together.
