GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADN2890 is a high gain, limiting amplifier optimized for
use in SONET, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), and Fibre Channel
optical receivers that accept input levels of up to 2.0 V p-p
differential and have 3 mV p-p differential input sensitivity. The
ADN2890 provides the receiver functions of quantization and
loss of signal (LOS) detection. The ADN2890 can easily operate
at up to 3.2 Gb/s to support LX4 transceivers.
The limiting amplifier also measures average received power
based on a direct measurement of the photodiode current with
better than 1 dB of accuracy over the entire input range of the
receiver. This eliminates the need for external average Rx power
detection circuitry in SFF-8472 compliant optical transceivers.
The ADN2890 limiting amplifier operates from a single 3.3 V
supply, has low power dissipation, and is available in a space-
saving 3 mm × 3 mm 16-lead lead frame chip scale package
(LFCSP).

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
