The SY88913 limiting post amplifier with its high gain
and wide bandwidth is ideal for use as a post amplifier in
fiber-optic receivers with data rates up to 1.25Gbps.
Signals as small as 5mVp-p can be amplified to drive
devices with PECL inputs. The SY88913 generates a
chatter-free PECL Loss of Signal (/LOS).
The SY88913 incorporates a programmble level detect
function to identify when the input signal has been lost.
This information can be fed back to the /EN input of the
device to maintain stability under loss of signal conditions.
Using LOS
LVL
pin the sensitivity of the level detect can
be adjusted. The LOS
LVL
voltage can be set by
connecting a resistor divider between V
CC
and V
REF
,
Figure 2. Figure 3 shows the relationship between input
level sensitivity and the voltage set on LOS
LVL
. Figure 4
shows the relationship between input level sensitivity and
resistor divider ratio.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General
The SY88913 is an integrated limiting amplifier intended
for high-frequency fiber-optic applications. The circuit
connects to typical transimpedance amplifiers found within
a fiber-optics link. The linear signal output from a
transimpedance amplifier can contain significant amounts
of noise, and may vary in amplitude over time. The SY88913
limiting amplifier quantizes the signal and outputs a voltage-
limited waveform.
The TTL /EN pin allows the user to disable the signal
without removing the input signal.

APPLICATION NOTE
Output Termination
The SY88913 outputs must be terminated with a 50Ω
load to V
CC
– 2V (or Thevenin equivalent).
Layout and PCB Design
Since the SY88913 is a high-frequency component,
performance can largely be determined by board layout
and design. A common problem with high-gain amplifiers is
feedback from the large swing outputs to the input via the
power supply.
The SY88913 ground pin should be connected to the
circuit board ground. Use multiple PCB vias close to the
part to connect to ground. Avoid long, inductive runs which
