The PHY1097 is a transimpedance amplifier
designed for use within small form factor fibre
optic modules targeted at Gigabit capable
Passive Optical Network (GPON) applications.
Working from a 3.3V power supply the PHY1097
integrates a low noise transimpedance amplifier,
with a typical differential transimpedance of
25kΩ, an AGC and an output stage.
The RSSI pad can be used to implement a signal
strength monitor circuit. This is designed to sink
or source a current equal to the photodiode
current for ease of interfacing.
Sensitivity of -29dBm can be achieved at
2.5Gbps.
The PHY1097 is available in die form for
mounting on a header to create a ROSA when
combined with suitable optics and photo-detector
diode.

4 Device Description
The PHY1097 implements a complete analog front end, converting the photo-detector current, which has
been modulated by light from an optical fibre, to a differential analog voltage signal.
The PHY1097 also provides a filtered bias current to the photo-detector to increase the level of component
integration as well as the signal processing functions.
4.1 Photodiode Connection
A PIN Photodiode should be connected to the PHY1097 as shown in Figure 3, using the internal voltage
reference to bias the Photodiode. The internal reference supplies a low noise output with high power supply
rejection to 4MHz.
The voltage across the photodiode is equal to the power supply voltage, Vpdc minus the base emitter voltage
of the input transistor on the PHY1097, equal to Vpda. The anode voltage, Vpda is sensitive to temperature
and has a typical value of 0.8V.

Single ended connection of a PIN photodiode to the PDA input with an external bias supply can produce
inconsistent sensitivity and bandwidth operation.
If an Avalanche Photodiode (APD) is to be used this can be connected as shown in figure 4, filtering of the
bias voltage must be provided externally to the PHY1097 to avoid damaging the device. The input current
applied to the PDA pad with Vcc off (<3.0V) must not exceed the value given in the section 3.1 maximum
ratings table, if exceeded damage may occur to the PDA input. The RSSI senses the MPD current from the
PDC pad, this is not used in single ended applications such as APD. In this case a current mirror should be
included on the APD bias to provide the RSSI current.

4.2 DC Cancellation
The removal of the direct current component of the input signal is necessary to reduce the pulse width
distortion for signals with a 50% mark density.
The DC cancellation block provides low frequency feedback using an internally compensated amplifier,
removing the need for external compensation capacitors.
4.3 Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA)
The transimpedance (current to voltage) stage is a very low noise amplifier with a feedback resistor to set the
gain. This stage features automatic gain control, where the transimpedance depends on the output signal
level. This ensures that the output does not overload the subsequent stage in the signal path.
An internal voltage regulator is used to power the front-end transimpedance amplifier in order to improve the
rejection of power supply noise.
4.4 Output Data Polarity
The data polarity pin has an internal 8kΩ pull-up resistor. In normal non-inverting operation, where there is no
external connection, the pin pulls to VDD. In this mode an optical '1' gives maximum input current and a
voltage '1' on the positive output pin Rx+. Connection of the pad to ground selects an inverted sense output.
4.5 Output Gain Stage
The output gain stage features a voltage amplifier, a single ended to differential converter and a supply
referenced differential output buffer.
The PHY1097 has a 50Ω single ended output impedance, which is suitable for the majority of applications.
For optimum supply-noise rejection, the PHY1097 should be terminated differentially.
