The SY88923 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 2.5Gbps. Signals
as small as 5mVp-p can be amplified to drive devices with
PECL inputs. The SY88923 generates a chatter-free Loss
of Signal (LOS) open collector TTL output.
The SY88923 incorporates a programmable 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 condition.
Using LOS
LVL
pin, the sensitivity of the level detection can
be adjusted. The LOS
LVL
voltage can be set by connecting
a resistor divider between V
CC
and V
REF
. Figure 3 and
Figure 4 show the relationship between input level sensitivity
and the voltage set on LOS
LVL
. Figure 5 shows the
relationship between input level sensitivity and resistor
divider ratio.
The LOS output is a TTL open collector output that
requires a pull-up resistor for proper operation, Figure 1.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General
The SY88923 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 SY88923
limiting amplifier quantizes the signal and outputs a voltage-
limited waveform.
The /EN pin allows the user to disable the output signal
without removing the input signal.

DESIGN PROCEDURE
Output Termination
The SY88923 outputs must be terminated with a 50Ω
load to V
CC
– 2V (or thevenin equivalent).
Layout and PCB Design
Since the SY88923 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 power
supply.
The SY88923 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
