MAX3971AUGP
+3.3V, 10.7Gbps Limiting Amplifier
General DescriptionThe MAX3971A is a compact 10.7Gbps limiting amplifier.
It accepts signals over a wide range of input voltage levels
and provides constant-level output voltages with con-
trolled edge speeds. It functions as a data quantizer with
a 240mVP-Pdifferential CML output signal with a 100Ωdif-
ferential termination. The MAX3971A has a disable func-
tion that allows the outputs to be squelched if required by
the application.
The MAX3971A is designed to work with the MAX3970
transimpedance amplifier (TIA). The limiting amplifier
operates on a single +3.3V supply and functions over a
0°C to +85°C temperature range.
The MAX3971A is offered in die form and in a compact
4mm ×4mm 20-pin QFN and thin QFN package.

MAX3971A
+3.3V, 10.7Gbps Limiting Amplifier
Detailed Description and
Applications InformationFigure 1 is a functional diagram of the MAX3971A limit-
ing amplifier. The signal path consists of an input buffer
followed by a gain stage and output amplifier. A feed-
back loop provides offset correction by driving the
average value of the differential output to zero.
Gain Stage and Offset CorrectionThe limiting amplifier provides approximately 42dB
gain. The large gain makes the amplifier susceptible to
small DC offsets, which cause deterministic jitter. A
low-frequency loop is integrated into the limiting ampli-
fier to reduce output offset, typically to less than 2mV.
The external capacitor (CZ) is required for stability and
to set the low-frequency cutoff for the offset correction
loop. The time constant of the loop is set by the product
of an equivalent 20kΩon-chip resistor and the value of
the off-chip capacitor (CZ). For stable operation, the
minimum value of CZ is 0.01µF. To minimize pattern-
dependent jitter, CZ should be as large as possible.
For 10Gbps ethernet and SONET applications, the typi-
cal value of CZ is 0.1µF. Keep CZ close to the package
to reduce parasitic inductance.
CML Input CircuitThe input buffer is designed to accept CML input sig-
nals such as the output from the MAX3970 transimped-
ance amplifier. An equivalent circuit for the input is
shown in Figure 2. For lowest deterministic jitter in all
operating conditions, AC-coupling capacitors are rec-
ommended on the input.

CML Output CircuitAn equivalent circuit for the output network is shown in
Figure 3. It consists of a pair of 50Ωresistors connect-
ed to VCCdriven by the collectors of an output differen-
tial transistor pair (Q1 and Q2). The differential output
signals are clamped by transistors Q3 and Q4 when
the DISABLE input is high.
DISABLE FunctionA logic signal can be applied to the DISABLE pin to
squelch the output signal. When the output is disabled,
an offset is added to the output, preventing the follow-
ing stage from oscillating, if DC-coupled. See Figure 4
for the input stage of the DISABLE function.
