MAX3748
The MAX3748 multirate limiting amplifier functions as a
data quantizer for SONET, Fibre Channel, and Gigabit
Ethernet optical receivers. The amplifier accepts a wide
range of input voltages and provides constant-level
current-mode logic (CML) output voltages with con-
trolled edge speeds.
A received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI) is available
when the MAX3748 is combined with the MAX3744 SFP
transimpedance amplifier (TIA). A receiver consisting of
the MAX3744 and the MAX3748 can provide up to
19dB RSSI dynamic range. Additional features include
a programmable loss-of-signal (LOS) detect, an option-
al disable function (DISABLE), and an output signal
polarity reversal (OUTPOL). Output disable can be
used to implement squelch.
The combination of the MAX3748 and the MAX3744
allows for the implementation of all the small-form-factor
SFF-8472 digital diagnostic specifications using a stan-
dard 4-pin TO-46 header. The MAX3748 is packaged in
a 3mm x 3mm, 16-pin thin QFN package with an
exposed pad.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 4:

- 1 PRBS pattern was substituted by K28.5 pattern to determine the high-speed portion of the deterministic jitter. The
low-speed portion of the DJ (baseline wander) was obtained by measuring the eye width difference between outputs gen-
erated using K28.5 and 2
23
- 1 PRBS patterns.
Note 5:
Random jitter was measured without using a filter at the input.
Note 6:
The supply current measurement excludes the CML output currents by connecting the CML outputs to a separate V
CC
(see Figure 1).
Note 7:
Unless otherwise specified, the pattern for all LOS detect specifications is 2
23
- 1 PRBS.
Note 8:
The signal at the input is switched between two amplitudes, Signal_ON and Signal_OFF, as shown in Figure 2.
Note 9:
I
CM_INPUT
is the input common mode. I
RSSI
is the current at the RSSI output.
Note 10:
Stability is defined as variation over temperature and power supply with respect to the typical gain of the part.
