for SANs is leading the data rate requirements for
current 1 Gb/s and 2 Gb/s optical modules while
demanding full backward compatibility.
The
Zarlink PX5420 multi-rate TIA/LA optical receiver
provides the performance and feature set required
by competitive SFF and SFP optical modules.
The Zarlink PX5420 optical receiver is a single
channel TIA/LA optical receiver designed for
various applications to 4.25 Gb/s. It consists of a
transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and an AC-coupled
differential limiting amplifier (LA).
The transimpedance amplifier achieves a nominal
bandwidth of 3 GHz over a wide range of
photodiode input capacitance. A photodiode bias
current monitor allows for a simple alignment
procedure.
The transimpedance amplifier is AC-coupled
internally to a high-gain, high-bandwidth, limiting
amplifier.
The limiting amplifier provides a
differential back-terminated current-mode logic
(CML) output that can be used to drive a 4.25 Gb/s
intra module post amplifier or directly drive to the
edge of the module.
Full diagnostics are delivered through loss of
signal, squelch, and received signal strength
indicator circuits.

Product Brief
Figure 2:
Diagram shows a typical bonding configuration
for the PX5420 mounted on a TO-46 header.
The figure shows a photodiode attached directly
on the PX5420 IC. Also shown are two
microwave chip capacitors. A single capacitor
connected to a 3.3 V supply is required. The
second capacitor (not connected to an external
supply) is recommended but not required.
Capacitor values of 200 fF are typical but vary
by application environment.

disables the limiting amplifier when LOS is
asserted.
