622Mbps, Low-Noise, High-Gain
Transimpedance Preamplifier
General Description
The MAX3658 is a transimpedance preamplifier for
receivers operating up to 622Mbps. Low noise, high
gain, and low power dissipation make it ideal for fiber
access and small form-factor transceivers.
The MAX3658 features 45nA input-referred noise, 18kΩ
transimpedance gain, 580MHz bandwidth, and 2mA
P-P
input overload. Operating from a +3.3V supply, the
MAX3658 consumes only 66mW. An integrated filter
resistor provides positive bias for the photodiode. These
features, combined with a small die size, allow easy
assembly into a TO-46 header with a photodiode. The
MAX3658 also includes an average photocurrent monitor.
The MAX3658 has typical optical sensitivity of -33dBm
(0.9A/W), which exceeds the class-B APON require-
ments. Typical optical overload is 1dBm. The MAX3658
is available in die form with both output polarities
(MAX3658A and MAX3658B). The MAX3658A is also
available in a 3mm x 3mm 8-pin TDFN package.

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.

+3.3V Supply Voltage
Signal Input. Connect to photodiode anode.
Optional Filter Connection. Use to bias the photodiode cathode. An internal on-chip resistive network
is connected between this pin and V
CC
; an external decoupling capacitor connected to this pin forms
a filter (see the
Design Procedure
section). Leave this pin open if a filter is not required.
Optional Photocurrent Monitor. This is a current output. Connect a resistor between MON and ground
to monitor the average photocurrent. Leave this pin open if a monitor is not required.
Circuit Ground
Positive 75Ω Data Output. Increasing input current causes OUT+ to increase.
Negative 75Ω Data Output. Increasing input current causes OUT- to decrease.
